PANEL DISCUSSION

Prioritizing Tech Innovation & Talent Retention
A new study reveals that 80% of CFOs are investing significantly in new technologies, but most are not satisfied with the ROI. Our panel of experts will aim to discuss how best to evaluate new investments in tech to determine if they are a valuable investment that serve to increase efficiency while reducing risk. Additionally they will address best practices to retain leading talent. Speakers will explore the challenges that continue to cause employees to look for new opportunities, and what leaders can implement to help combat this challenge.
