Finance Executive Nexus: This October, We're Co-Creating
23 August 2026 · Munich
In June we joined the Finance Executive Nexus in Munich as guests — and came away with plenty of good impressions. What won us over most was the focus on the personal: curated small groups, moderated topic rooms and structured 1:1 exchange instead of trade-fair bustle. That is exactly how we believe conversations between finance leaders should work.
So this October we will be back — at Nexus Integrate on 8–9 October in Munich. This time not just as guests: we are helping shape the event.
The Finance Executive Nexus brings together CFOs and finance teams from the DACH region — with executive dialogue sessions, moderated topic rooms and structured 1:1 peer matching.
Keynote at the Transformation Stage: The CFO as Master of the System
Transformation before tool: the sequence decides how well you can steer
Many companies roll out a new ERP and steer hardly any better than before. The system adopts the processes it finds — gaps included. The ability to steer is built in the transformation that comes first: the operating model first, then process and data model, the tool last. Two real-world cases show the way. The first is a carve-out with a simultaneous shift from a hardware to a software business. The second is a group view across three countries, built in 14 days. The CFO owns this sequence. That is how financial figures become decisions based on reliable data.
The keynote is confirmed in the Nexus agenda. If you are attending: you can select it in the Nexus app and add it to your personal programme.

Why it's worth a CFO's time
- Exchange at eye level instead of frontal programming: curated small groups and moderated topic rooms — you talk to people who are making the same decisions right now.
- Structured 1:1 peer matching: one-on-one conversations matched to your topics — not chance encounters at the standing table.
- Two concentrated days: input on strategy, steering and finance technology, condensed rather than scattered — you go home with concrete next steps.
