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.

Acquisitions, spin-offs, and building best-in-class treasury processes
In today’s fast‑evolving business environment, corporate treasury functions illustrate how strategic acquisitions, divestitures and spin‑offs can streamline operations and boost efficiency. By divesting non‑core activities, standardising processes and implementing a unified Treasury Management System, organisations can centralise treasury functions, enhance cash visibility and harmonise global operations. Likewise, firms that consolidate international acquisitions and centralise IT, infrastructure and organisational processes can, through the same Treasury Management System, achieve greater operational efficiency, improved cash management, and consistent processes across regions.
In this session, treasury leaders will discuss:
- Strategies for managing acquisitions and divestitures while ensuring operational continuity.
- Centralizing and harmonizing processes across global operations.
- Implementing advanced treasury systems to enhance visibility and control.
- Best practices for building scalable, best-in-class treasury processes that drive long-term success.

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.

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.

AI and automation case studies: enhancing treasury processes with efficient systems
Automation of treasury processes, aided by AI, is an essential project for many treasurers, and in this session, we explore the tangible benefits of treasury automation through a series of compelling, real-world case studies from the region. Treasurers will demonstrate how they are developing technologies including robotic process automation (RPA), application programming interfaces (APIs), and integrated treasury management systems (TMS) to streamline critical treasury functions, from payments to FX to compliance. Sharing their implementation journeys, treasurers will detail how they built business cases, selected the vendors and solutions, and managed internal change processes, whilst reducing operational costs and risks in automation projects. Treasurers will also reflect on how automation has empowered their teams to focus on strategic treasury activities.

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 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.

Teams and skills: identifying the ideal treasury team of the future
As new technologies, including AI, integrate with treasury processes, the skills required for managing treasury activities are evolving rapidly. Modern treasury teams require a blend of financial and technical skills to keep pace in a dynamic ever changing environment. In this session, we focus on human capital in the AI era, exploring the unique composition of the ‘ideal’ future treasury team. Treasury leaders will discuss the critical shift from finance expertise to strategic, data-driven, and technological competencies, and the adaptability and flexibility to change as technology advances. Treasurers will highlight and identify skill gaps and needs in treasury teams and treasury training needs to meet these skill requirements. Treasurers also share the need to attract new talent with backgrounds in data science and technology to build a future focussed team capable of driving strategic and technological change in treasury transformation.

Workshop: AI in treasury: hands-on how to use AI to improve treasury processes
Every AI vendor promises treasury transformation. The reality? Adoption stalls when already exhausted teams can’t execute.
Recent data highlights the gap between ambition and capacity. Strategic Treasurer (2025) reports that 76% of treasury teams expect AI to enhance cash forecasting, yet only 23% currently work with AI/ML partners. Meanwhile, AFP (2025) found that 79% of organizations faced payment fraud attempts, stretching treasury resources thin. Broader research from Deloitte shows 40% of managers experiencing burnout amid technology change, while Gallup reports manager engagement declining during the largest tech shift in a generation. In one treasury team, AI forecasting tools were available but underused because analysts were spending most of their week handling fraud exceptions, manual reconciliations, and urgent cash inquiries. The barrier wasn’t technology — it was capacity.
This workshop focuses on a hidden constraint: human energy and execution readiness. Drawing on anonymized case experience from mid-sized banks and global treasury environments — informed by 25+ years in treasury leadership roles at HSBC and Citigroup — participants will identify operational and cognitive overload points that derail AI initiatives.
Attendees will leave with practical tools to restore capacity so AI can deliver measurable treasury outcomes: higher forecasting confidence, faster fraud response, improved liquidity visibility, and more time for strategic cash decisions — without overwhelming already stretched teams.

Workshop: Stablecoins and the future of financial infrastructure
Exploring the proliferation of stablecoins, the treasury use cases, and the revolution in digital money and payments for corporations. With the signing into law of the GENIUS Act, stablecoins, pegged to the US dollar, are set to proliferate in the financial system, across public blockchains, issued by authorised entities. Workshop leaders will map out the stablecoin landscape and asset base, explain the underlying technologies, and explore their use cases in business, finance, payments and in treasury, citing real world examples and practical applications, to enable treasurers to see how USDC can sit alongside cash in treasury accounts.
