Strategic treasurer: priorities now
Treasurers are evolving into strategic c-suite advisors to the executive board, providing essential business critical intelligence on real time cash and liquidity across the business. Enabled by the automation of core treasury processes, treasurers are increasingly elevated from operational activities to strategic oversight, with influence in major corporate decisions on capital allocation, risk management, and strategic growth. In this session, we hear from leading treasurers on how they achieved a strategic treasury operation, including automation of operations and reporting to deliver strategic insights and intelligence to the board, what it takes to elevate and lead treasury today, and what the strategic priorities are now.

Geoeconomics: forces influencing treasury risks now
Current geopolitical and macroeconomic forces are creating new market dynamics and shifts directly impacting corporate treasury across the US and Latin America. For treasurers, the impacts of changing trade policies, regional political instabilities, fluctuating interest rates, and evolving regulatory environments, are elevating regional risks. To mitigate risks, treasurers are increasingly monitoring country level risks impacting FX currencies and cash management, supply chain finance and resilience, cross-border payments, funding and intercompany lending throughout the US and LatAM. Treasurers describe how they are responding to emerging risks, and developing proactive strategies to build resilient treasury functions that can navigate uncertainty, hedge risks, and protect cash, liquidity and assets from external volatilities in regional markets.

Cross border payments: stablecoins and their use cases in the region
Whilst stablecoins currently represent less than one percent of $200+ trillion cross border payment flows, volumes are growing and could hit 20 percent by 2030. As stablecoin issuance and acceptance accelerates, driven by low fee transactions, typically less than 1 percent instead of 2-7 percent, and instant settlement instead of days, corporate treasurers will increasingly develop stablecoin liquidity pools. Potential regional use cases such as the freeing of trapped cash, supply chain financing, short term liquidity, intercompany and subsidiary transactions can all be executed instantly using stablecoins. Here treasurers discuss how they are currently using stablecoins and developing payment and liquidity strategies using both bank issued tokens and private stablecoins in the region.
Cash management and forecasting: refining best practices with new AI technologies
Treasury technologies are now evolving so rapidly, it is essential that treasurers stay focussed on the latest advancements in cash management and forecasting, in theory if not always in practice. Highlighting case studies from corporate treasurers that have successfully integrated AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, the panel will illustrate how to achieve even greater accuracy and efficiency in cash forecasts. Delegates will hear examples of best practice in leveraging new AI technologies to enhance visibility over global cash positions, to optimise liquidity across business operations in the region. Treasurers will map out their journey from traditional spreadsheets to enhanced AI forecasting, to create a strategic tool that delivers business critical insights.

LatAm and FX: optimising regional FX and cash operations
Managing the complexities of cash and foreign exchange risk across Latin America’s diverse and often volatile markets are skills every regional treasurer needs to master. Developing strategies for navigating FX currency controls and trapped cash challenges across multiple jurisdictions, as well as managing high inflation in local markets (Mexico 3.6, Brazil 4.3, Argentina 16-20) is essential to treasury custody. Here experienced regional treasurers share their best practices for structuring regional cash and liquidity, building effective FX hedging programs, and leveraging local banking relationships in key markets. Delegates will have the opportunity to ask about the tools, techniques and technologies required to reduce risks and drive efficiencies in LatAm treasury and cash operations.

SCF and trade: recalibrating supply chains for new trade and tariff realities
In an era of shifting trade alliances and tariff uncertainty, this session explores how treasurers can help build and finance more resilient supply chains in partnership with liquidity providers. Treasurers of multinational corporations operating in the US and LatAm, discuss how they are adapting their supply chain finance (SCF) programs and trade finance strategies to new geopolitical realities. Focussing on innovative financing structures, risk mitigation, and cross-border trade, treasurers discuss how they are utilising SCF platform technologies to enhance supply visibility and resilience. Navigating changing tax and tariff rules, treasurers discuss how they seek to optimise working capital through payables financing and support suppliers and the business through market disruption and uncertainty.
Payments and fraud: developing secure real-time capabilities
As real time payments and treasury come on stream in business to business verticals, demand for instant transactions will accelerate across buyers and suppliers in the US and LatAm region. Yet automated real-time payment technologies are new and potentially vulnerable within corporate systems to cybersecurity threats and fraudulent activity. Treasurers and their payments colleagues, will share how they work with cybersecurity technology experts to create secure, instant payment systems and defend against fraudulent activity. Treasurers will share insights on best practices for developing robust internal controls, utilising AI for fraud detection, and collaborating with banking partners to build secure payments systems. The session will illustrate the benefits of real-time payments, whilst managing new process risks.

Delegates will gain practical insights on how to define and implement AI applications within their treasury processes and operations in the region.
Working capital and liquidity: leveraging balance sheets for optimal capital ratios
Treasurers say that working capital is the best source of liquidity, leveraging balance sheet assets, without funding in the external rate markets. Treasurers will provide a strategic view on optimising working capital and liquidity to provide capital for business growth. From repos to factoring, treasurers will discuss the armory of assets for boosting working capital ratios, including managing the cash conversion cycle, from payables and receivables to inventory. Core to the discussion is how to leverage financing solutions like dynamic discounting, reverse factoring and receivables financing to unlock liquidity. We dive into the technologies and tools that help source, unlock and track working capital and liquidity via treasury for the business, and illustrate how aligning working capital initiatives with growth targets elevates treasury from cash custodians to strategic financing partners.

Cash investments, short term funding, MMF and repo markets for corporate treasury
With Fed fund rates currently at 3.5 percent, repo rates and government MMF funds rates have been falling off 2025 highs, with tighter yields in US markets over banks deposits. whilst balancing deposits and investments across a portfolio of cash instruments introduces complexity in cash and investment management, yield and risk diversification are clear strategies for treasury. With stablecoins and tokenised deposit opening up intraday repo markets, treasurers have greater exposure to yield, with instant liquidity. Yet managing liquidity across multiple funds, instruments and assets, can also introduce risk, uncertainty and challenges in operational efficiency in cash and liquidity management. Here treasurers discuss how they best balance multiple cash investment pools and money funds for optimal yield and liquidity, and consider their strategies as rates change.

Capital structuring: rebalancing bonds, loans and equity as rates change
In a dynamic interest rate environment, where the cost of capital remains elevated, maintaining an optimal capital structure is a critical challenge for finance and treasury leaders. Against a backdrop of rising corporate bond issuance, especially in tech sectors, and higher company valuations, treasurers and finance colleagues are concerned to create the optimal balance of debt and equity ratios in the business. Here we delve into the strategic considerations for rebalancing debt and equity to manage costs and mitigate risk in the current environment. Taking recent capital structuring experiences from US and LatAm corporate treasurers, the session will focus on current funding conditions, including public bonds, private placements, and bank loans.Treasurers will share best practice for assessing their capital structure, debt or equity issuance, and communicating their funding strategies to investors and shareholders.
