Event Testimonials Quote 1The experience has been excellent — very well organised, with clear agendas and high-quality meetings and presentations. It’s a great opportunity to connect with a wide range of vendors and explore solutions across finance, ERP, and technology. The Quartz team were first class — professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient in managing every detail. The event itself stands out for its impressive scale, outstanding facilities at Twickenham, and engaging mix of HR and Finance discussions. It’s a punchy, well-defined, and genuinely valuable event to be part of.

Event Testimonials Quote 3It’s been a great and productive experience — a busy day full of learning and networking with fellow CFOs, industry peers, and service providers. The one-to-one meetings were particularly valuable, offering genuine two-way interaction and insights into new innovations that can enhance our own processes. The keynotes were engaging, with AI emerging as the central theme across finance and business discussions. Everything was exceptionally well organised — from the agenda to the pre-arranged meetings — making the day seamless, insightful, and truly worthwhile.

Group CFO, Aarstiderne
Event Testimonials Quote 5I’ve attended multiple times, which speaks volumes about how valuable this event is. Every visit brings new insights, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect — even the unplanned meetings make it extra special. The one-to-one sessions were focused and well-prepared, with providers who had clearly done their homework. The team were incredibly accommodating and flexible, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. It’s always a professional, open, and enjoyable experience, and I look forward to coming back again.
Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor (Social Mobility), Brunel University London
