During the last three years, CFO magazine has welcomed hundreds of large-corporate finance executives to five national CPM conferences — intensive sharing and learning sessions that have drawn high praise from participants. The interest among executives at large and mid-sized companies remains remarkably strong. So this fall we are offering the sixth in this conference series, the first one to be held in the Southeast.
