Platform Interim Treasury Masterclass

| 06-09-2019 | by DACT |

Masterclass Succesvol Pitchen en Presenteren
Kunnen we nog afkicken van 8 jaar monetaire morfine van de ECB?
Trends in Export financiering

De DACT nodigt je uit voor de volgende PIT-bijeenkomst op dinsdag 10 september 2019 op een bijzondere locatie: De Beurs van Berlage (Beursplein 5) , waar de DACT gast is bij AFS Group. Je bent vanaf 17:30 uur welkom, de bijeenkomst start om 18:00 uur en zal rond 21:00 worden afgesloten. Broodjes en drankjes worden door AFS aangeboden op de beursvloer.

PIT is een DACT Netwerkgroep gericht op de Treasury professional die niet in vast dienstverband zijn beroep uitoefent, maar op basis van tijdelijke (arbeids)overeenkomsten. PIT wordt bestuurd door Ingmar Bergmann, Peter Heymans, Patrick Kunz, Dennis Schmidt en Bart Steens. Tijdens de periodieke PIT-bijeenkomsten wordt er niet alleen vakinhoudelijk met elkaar van gedachten gewisseld, maar ook worden er thema’s behandeld die specifiek zien op de rol als interim professional. Zoals altijd wordt een actieve participatie van alle deelnemers gevraagd. Met name de Masterclass Succesvol Pitchen en Presenteren kan niet zonder die actieve deelname!

Voor de bijeenkomst op 10 september a.s. hebben wij het onderstaande programma samengesteld.

  • Introductie AFS Blue – Bringing issuing and trading debt into a digitized world door Marcel Coppejans, Managing Director AFS Group. Presentatie van AFS’ internet based platform dat is ontwikkeld om de brokerage van schuldpapier in de primaire en secundaire markt transparanter en efficiënter te maken.
  • Masterclass Succesvol Pitchen en Presenteren door Patrick van Gils, pitchcoach en presentatietrainer. Oprichter van TOPpresentaties. Hoe kunnen we onszelf nog beter in de markt zetten? Hoe kunnen we kort, krachtig en overtuigend communiceren? Tijdens zijn interactieve presentatie ontdek je zijn beproefde 6 staps pitch-formule en komen zaken als woordkeus, powervragen, ‘pijn & fijn’ en overtuigingskracht aan de orde. De nadruk ligt op directe bruikbaarheid en praktische toepasbaarheid. Zijn doel is “om er zelf direct mee aan de slag gaan en de vruchten te plukken!”.
  • Kunnen we nog afkicken van 8 jaar monetaire financiering? door Arne Petimezas, Macro Analist AFS Group. Als specialist in de Europese en Amerikaanse geld- en kapitaalmarkten wordt hij vaak gevraagd zijn visie te delen met professionele partijen en de media, zoals het Financieel Dagblad en nieuwszenders op televisie. Ook met ons zal hij zijn visie delen over het monetaire beleid van de ECB.
  • Trends in Export Financiering door Stephen Maduro, AFS Corporate Finance. Is het huidige instrumentarium van Nederlandse exporteurs voldoende om de export te bevorderen? Past de rol van banken en Export Krediet Verzekeraars nog in de huidige markt? Hoe kunnen Nederlandse exporteurs het beste ondersteund worden?
    Hoe kan deze markt toegankelijker en transparanter gemaakt worden?
  • PIT-zaken

Alle geïnteresseerde DACT-leden zijn uitgenodigd voor deze nieuwe PIT-bijeenkomst, dus ook de niet interim Treasurers, zolang zij bereid zijn om actief en open deel te nemen aan de discussie; uiteraard is er alle respect voor de vertrouwelijkheid die een ieder op sommige terreinen moet betrachten.

10 of the Best | The ACT Annual Conference 2019

| 24-05-2019 | treasuryXL |

What an incredible two days it has been, action-packed and full of celebrations. Very fitting for the special edition of the 40th anniversary ACT Annual Conference.

With over 1,100 people under one roof at Manchester Central, the ACT experienced so many positive moments. They would like to share the top 10 highlights so far…

1 | A ‘REMARKABLE’ OPENING

The conference opened with an impressive keynote address from leading broadcaster and journalist Jon Snow, during which he said if there were a collective noun for treasurers it would have to be ‘a remarkable’.

2 | LARGEST TREASURY EXHIBITION

This year’s conference boasted over 85 exhibition stands, making it the largest in the UK and one of the biggest in Europe. There were many banks, suppliers to treasury and service providers on tap for our delegates.

3 | BUSINESS OF TREASURY

ACT launched the annual Business of Treasury report at the conference. Based on a survey of senior treasurers around the world, the report paints a vivid picture of treasurers’ priorities, fears and the issues they’re about to face. Read more.

4 | 40TH GALA DINNER

This year’s conference marked the 40th year. They celebrated the ACT’s anniversary during a very special Gala Dinner, filled with entertainment, great food and company. They also took this chance to present to a select group of individuals who became either Fellows or Honorary Fellows this year. Read more.

5 | ACT GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION

This year they were lucky to have the very talented Caroline Chapple illustrating live during a very busy and bustling two days of conferencing. Look out for the finished version – coming soon on the ACT website!

6 | TREASURY HUNT 2019

All attendees had a chance to win an Amazon Echo and Amazon vouchers while collecting points on the event app. Congratulations again to our Treasury Hunt prize winners: Dave Burnside, Fiona Rose and Shujat Mirza.

7 | SPEAKERS’ CHAIR BLOGS

The speakers’ chair, Peter Matza, led two days of insightful discussions on stage, so who better placed to round up the days events (in his own words). Read his blogs here.

Day one blog                Day two blog

8 | SUPERB SUPPORT

The ACT is thankful for their sponsors, exhibitors, delegates and speakers. Many great conversations were had and new connections forged over the two days.

9 | #ACTAC19 TRENDING IN MCR

#ACTAC19 generated lots of buzz on social media! According to Twitter, it was one of the top trending keywords in Manchester on day 1!

10 | THE BIG REVEAL

Last but not least, the ACT is really excited to be taking the ACT Annual Conference to the brand new ICC in Newport, Wales on 12-13 May 2020.

the ACT Annual Conference 2019 starts today

| 21-05-2019 | treasuryXL |

The largest treasury and finance conference and exhibition in the UK will start today in Manchester. Bringing together over 1,100 treasury peers, 100+ expert speakers and 80+ exhibitors.
New challenges need new solutions. That’s why this year the ACT will challenge the audience to think differently, take the leap and embrace disruption with an open mindset for innovation and change.

As the focal point of the corporate treasury calendar, the ACT Annual Conference brings together leaders in treasury and finance to provide you with the timely insights you need in today’s fast-moving market.

All under one roof, over just two days.

Reminder Event: TOMORROW’S EUROPE: Uncertainty and unprecedented opportunity

| 10-09-2018 | Reuters | treasuryXL |

Join this dynamic discussion where a panel of economic, geopolitical and business experts will explore what ‘Tomorrow’s Europe’ may look like.

Europe is at a crossroads. It faces many challenges – from globalisation and geopolitics, to the impact of new technologies and trade agreements. But change also brings great opportunities for the brave and adaptable. Above all, innovation, entrepreneurship and investment will be the foundations of future prosperity. And businesses – as the main creators of jobs and growth – have a pivotal role in determining what ‘Tomorrow’s Europe’ will become.

Our expert panel will discuss

  • What will drive economic growth?
  • What are the geopolitical factors that lie ahead?
  • Which businesses and markets will bring investment to the region?
  • What will propel innovation and competition?
  • How new regulations and a post-Brexit trade landscape will shape the decades to come

All this, and much more, up for debate at the Axica, Berlin on 19 September 2018.

How To Optimize Your Cash Management – upcoming event

| 19-03-2018 | treasuryXL | TIS Treasury Intelligence Solutions |

Treasury Intelligence Solutions GmbH (TIS)- a partner of treasuryXL, are organising a very engaging event that is being held in Amsterdam on Tuesday 27th March 2018, for corporate treasury. We have been kindly invited to attend and shall report back to you later, with our thoughts and experiences on what promises to be an interest evening. Read on for more information about this event and sign up if you find this event relevant to you and your company.

TIS will be joined by Cashforce, at the TIS Experts Evening in Amsterdam. The main focus will be on TIS client Archroma and their presentation on the global implementation of TIS.

TIS is the leading cloud platform for the management of company-wide payments and cash flows. TIS enables companies to make more efficient, more secure and more cost-effective payment transactions while also enabling customers to make better decisions when analysing financial and operational performance in real time.

Bas Coolen, Head of Treasury at Archroma, will present challenges in his department and his key objectives for a consolidation of bank account management and an optimization of payments.

Archroma is a global colour and specialty chemicals company headquartered in Reinach near Basel, Switzerland. It operates with 3,000 employees over 35 countries and with 24 production sites.

Cashforce will inform you about the art of automating your cash forecast with minimal effort.

TIS and Cashforce are very much looking forward to stimulating discussions and ideas with their comprehensive agenda and lectures. Reports on trends, achievements and real-world examples from the industry will round up the program for this evening.
During the networking section you will have the opportunity to further exchange with Bas Coolen and the experts from Cashforce and TIS. You can take this opportunity to ask your questions about how to operate an elaborate cash management system, that offers the functionality you require.

The event is being held in the Dylan Hotel, built on the site of a famous theatre – so we can expect a good performance.

Register now for one of the last remaining seats via the following link: Expert evening Amsterdam

treasuryXL wishes everyone – both participants and attendees – a productive evening and will report back later with our findings.
