The CFO & IT Value Conference & Expo will be held at the Palmer House Hilton
in Chicago on October 19-22, 2003.

Keynote Addresses:
Dennis Powell, CFO of Cisco, will examine how having the right information at the right time is critical to making good business decisions that maximize long-term value for shareholders and build investor confidence. In his presentation, Dennis Powell will discuss how Internet technologies enable the role of the finance organization to evolve from fiduciary gatekeeper to solicited business partner.

Tim Reed, Global Information Officer for Finance at General Motors, will discuss how finance is increasingly integral in driving strategy within organizations today -- rapidly moving from a transactional reporting entity to a more strategic driver with a leading role in determining the company's direction. Globalization has made it necessary to identify common, global processes that reduce or eliminate redundant processes and legacy systems. It has become mandatory to have an integrated, global view of key metrics across the organization. Mr. Reed will present key concepts of "Digital Finance" and "Advanced Financial Management" defining a framework that addresses an integrated information repository, powerful analytical and modeling tools, and a user-friendly portal delivery model to help drive your organization up the learning curve.
