Two days of peer-to-peer interaction and engagement!

ACEC's Finance Forum brings together professionals from engineering firms for two days of open discussion and roundtables where they share best practices, explore problems and solutions, and gain valuable insights into industry trends.

Network with professionals in the A/E space

Attendees are connected to a network of their peers to share best practices, discuss emerging trends, and problem-solving in the workplace.

Roundtable Discussions

The Finance Forum agenda is built around interactive roundtables so attendees can dive deeper into session topics and share personal challenges and triumphs in their work.

Access to the Forums online communities

ACEC National members of engineering firms can join online communities and continue receiving valuable insight with their peers year-round.

The ACEC Finance forum is on my “must attend” list every year for very good reason. I find the comradery with other CFO’s and controllers in the industry both refreshing and eye-opening. I learn a tremendous amount and gain a much better appreciation for key issues across the industry and most importantly, how other CFO’s are solving challenging issues. I am no longer struggling alone, but I am comforted by the fact that we are all trying to solve issues together.  Everyone has similar challenges, and everyone supports others to find the best solutions. I meet people I can count on to help me if I need assistance. I look forward to the event every year!!
