A conference about the most crucial of corporate relationships
As the global economy recovers and companies return to investment and expansion, inspiring growth has been top of mind for many CEOs and CFOs. This theme was reflected in the Second Annual CEO-CFO Dialogue, which focused on the growth strategies that companies are pursuing in order to deliver shareholder value. But, as we have seen, high-growth plans do not necessarily contribute to the health of a company. In fact, many companies have destroyed shareholder value through their growth plans—especially when they overpaid for acquisitions. So what must a company do in order to deliver and maximise shareholder value? The CEO and CFO must together set the conditions needed for the business to capture and capitalise on compelling marketplace opportunities time and again. To achieve this, the relationship between the CEO and the CFO—and the quality of the dialogue between them—is more important than ever before. In late October, some of the US's most influential business leaders will gather in New York to discuss the challenges facing the CEO and CFO.

Chaired by the business editor of The Economist, the Third Annual CEO-CFO Dialogue will examine strategies that are critical to the health of a company. Panels of C-level executives from leading US companies will explore how the CEO and CFO can engage the board in areas of corporate performance and value creation at a time when the board is seeking a role that encompasses more than traditional oversight.

Featured Speakers include:
Matthew Bishop - Business Editor, The Economist
Julia Homer - Editor-in-Chief, CFO Magazine
Edward M Liddy - Chairman and CEO, The Allstate Corporation
Hervé Gallaire - CFO and President, Xerox Innovation Group, Xerox Corporation
Paul Saleh - CFO, Sprint Nextel Communications
