PANEL: What finance professionals need to know now to future-proof their career

16 Oct 2026
THEATRE 1
The finance sector is undergoing a shift. AI has moved from a side project to the backbone of daily operations, digital currencies are edging into the mainstream, and regulatory oversight is tightening in response. The skills and experience that mattered five years ago aren’t necessarily the ones that matter now. In this discussion, Black finance leaders share how to upskill alongside a demanding day job, the projects worth aligning yourself with, and what businesses will be looking for in the next generation of leaders. If you’re looking to build career resilience in an industry facing transformation, this session offers a true head start.
