On June 5, the Brave CFO Gathering 2026 will take place in Kyiv and online—marking the strategic kickoff of the XXIV Ukrainian CFO Forum season, one of Ukraine’s key business platforms for financial leaders.
The year 2026 presents new challenges for business: AI is transforming the finance function, ERP systems are becoming the foundation of management resilience, and access to capital increasingly depends on the quality of management decisions and a company’s ability to operate in conditions of high uncertainty.
These are precisely the issues that CFOs, CEOs, investors, supervisory board members, and business owners from leading Ukrainian and international companies will discuss during the Brave CFO Gathering 2026.
