The CFO-Summit 2027 opens in Duesseldorf on the fifteenth of June and runs over more than one day. The summit is organised by Handelsblatt and is listed on the organiser's current conference programme as a multi-day event in Duesseldorf. The programme listing names no venue.
The summit is the organiser's annual gathering for finance chiefs, covering capital allocation, financing conditions, the finance function's own transformation, reporting obligations and the treatment of sustainability and tax disclosure in group accounts.
The event matters to executives because the German corporate sector is financing an industrial transition and a defence build out at the same time, under reporting rules that have been repeatedly rewritten, and the chief financial officer is the office where those pressures meet. Decisions about debt maturity, the use of equity, and the resourcing of the reporting function are all made in that seat. Chief financial officers, group treasurers, heads of controlling and heads of investor relations attend alongside the banks and advisers that serve them.
Duesseldorf is the headquarters city of Handelsblatt and a centre of corporate finance in the Rhineland, with a dense concentration of listed industrial and consumer groups in the surrounding region.
