At the time of going to press, turmoil in the markets was having a massive impact globally. Financial markets continued to seesaw as banks worldwide cut interest rates and governments embarked on huge bailout plans in an effort to calm the volatility. Worse, it looked like a deep and lengthy recession was looming. The panic, confusion and fear has reminded us just how important the treasurer is in providing a stable helm for the company’s cash and liquidity. Worried about their companies’ ability to raise capital, treasurers have spent the past year cementing their bank relationships, and getting to grips with global cash and risk in an effort to position themselves outside the mess and hysteria. Many companies have tried not to lose sight of the bigger picture, restructuring projects amidst the mayhem.
The theme for the 2009 International conference in Miami, is whatever volatility there is in the world, global companies need a global approach to cash, liquidity and risk. This event will give you best practice case studies from top companies that are choosing and implementing solutions.
Essential morning sessions will identify key market trends and how they impact treasury; helping you understand where the world is in terms of growth patterns, economic outlook, currency, interest rate and commodity issues. This will be followed by panel discussions from top corporates to discuss strategies and models going forward. Afternoon sessions will delve deeper into these themes and more importantly look at optimal structures, policies and processes for treasury no matter what markets may look like.
