As part of BBJ’s CFO of the Year Awards, Plante Moran is presenting, “From AI curiosity to CFO-grade action,” a peer-level executive forum designed exclusively for chief financial officers (CFOs) to help cut through all the hype regarding AI and focus on what it can effectively be used for today.
The session brings together BBJ CFO of the Year honorees and former winners for a candid conversation that moves beyond AI theory — exploring real-world AI applications, governance responsibilities, and how to foster an AI-driven culture. We’ve designed the event around industry-based breakouts and structured networking to create opportunities for shared learning, benchmarking, and collaboration.
Participants will leave with a clearer perspective on where AI can realistically deliver value in their organizations, a stronger understanding of their leadership responsibilities related to AI governance, and specific first steps they can take immediately. The goal is momentum, not a perfect plan.
