✅ A full day of CPD, incl. technical & novelty finance sessions
✅ Insightful case studies and future‑focused discussions
✅ High‑profile speakers from academia, policy and industry
✅ Unmissable networking opportunities throughout the day
✅ An entertaining evening to balance out a full-day of learning
Conference speakers
- Dr Richard Bruce
University of Sheffield Management School
A leading authority on supply chain finance, Dr Bruce brings both academic depth and real‑world influence. Following the collapse of Greensill Capital, he was called upon by HM Treasury to provide evidence to the Select Committee on Supply Chain Finance.
With a career spanning global agri‑food supply chains, senior civil service, and academia, Dr Bruce’s session will offer rare insight into how finance structures shape business relationships - and where risks emerge.
- Alex Golledge
Agent for Yorkshire & the Humber, Bank of England
Alex will deliver a high‑impact economics update, drawing on his role representing the Bank of England across the region. Expect clear, relevant insight into the economic landscape, policy direction and what it means for finance professionals and organisations today.
- Luke Stanton
Dynamic Speaker & Performance Coach
Known for his high‑energy, powerful delivery, Luke will deliver a motivational, thought‑provoking session designed to challenge thinking, energise delegates and leave you inspired to take action — a perfect way to end a CPD‑packed day.
- More speakers to be announced shortly:
We are currently finalising additional high‑calibre contributors and will confirm them soon, making this one of CIMA’s most compelling regional programmes yet.
Networking reception at the rooftop bar
Once the sessions conclude for the day, delegates are invited to unwind and connect at a networking reception in the Radisson Blu’s rooftop bar, offering stunning panoramic views over Sheffield - the ideal setting to reflect on the day and build meaningful professional connections.
