Sept 22
Connect Conference
The Augmented Auditor
Agentic AI in practice. How practitioners are redesigning their roles around it — what they own, what they hand off, and what gets sharper as a result.
The Technology-Driven Firm
Audit and finance as tech enterprises. How the AI-native firm is built, who leads it, and what the org chart looks like when automation is the foundation.
Executive Strategy and AI Governance
The C-suite view. How audit leaders and firm executives are setting strategy, managing risk, and governing AI at the top of the house.
