Digital business transformation: process digitalization and robotic automation 2026 - conference of the National Association of Financial Directors

Digital Business Transformation is a professional conference on digitalization, IT technologies, artificial intelligence, RPA, and automation for CFOs and business executives.

On October 29, 2026, CFOs, IT professionals, executives, and experts will gather in Moscow to discuss which technologies are already helping companies improve business efficiency, automate financial and management processes, reduce operating costs, and protect critical data and systems.

The program focuses not only on technology trends but also on practical implementation experience. Participants will explore real-life digital transformation cases, assess different approaches to selecting IT solutions, and identify the tools best suited to the needs of finance and economics departments.

Why digital transformation is becoming a CFO responsibility

Digitalization directly affects a company’s financial and management decisions. Outdated systems and fragmented processes increase operating costs, slow down data collection and analysis, make control more difficult, and limit a company’s ability to respond quickly to change.

At the same time, implementing new technologies requires a carefully considered approach. Mistakes in selecting enterprise systems, uncontrolled IT budgets, or poorly planned integration can result in additional costs instead of the expected economic benefits.

The conference will help finance executives identify digitalization priorities, assess the effectiveness of IT investments, and select technologies based on specific business needs.

What participants will learn at the conference

The practical program will explore how to:

• assess the effectiveness of IT investments and monitor their return on investment;
• apply artificial intelligence to real-world business tasks;
• automate financial and management processes;
• select and implement ERP, BI, and other enterprise systems;
• strengthen information security and cybersecurity;
• reduce operating costs through modern technologies;
• integrate new solutions into existing IT infrastructure;
