Review

After the extremely successful premiere in 2023, the Treasury & Finance Convention 2024 went into the next round - and seamlessly built on the success of the previous year. This year, we welcomed 31 exhibitors who presented their innovative solutions and latest developments. With 72 top-class speakers sharing their expertise in 34 presentations, we expanded the range of content even further. The high number of participants was particularly pleasing: with 436 participants from the treasury and finance sector, we were able to exceed expectations.

The Treasury & Finance Convention 2024 was not only a place for professional exchange, but also a place to meet and network. The positive response and the great interest show us that we are on the right track with our concept. Thanks to the outstanding support of our partners, exhibitors and the municipality of Schladming, the event was once again certified as a Green Event - further proof that sustainability is not just a buzzword for us, but a firmly anchored principle of our event strategy.

We are already looking forward to the coming year with great confidence and look forward to welcoming you back to Schladming from September 10 to 12, 2025.
