You’re invited to the Future of Finance, a two-and-a-half-day retreat for candid, creative conversations among a small group of CFOs, founders, and finance leaders.

Unlike a traditional conference, this event—hosted at Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley—is a carefully curated forum to examine the forces reshaping finance, push the boundaries of possibility, and chart new paths forward.

Key topics will include how AI is transforming the finance function; the next wave of financial innovation, from stablecoins to agentic commerce; how shifts in capital markets are changing strategies for sustainable growth.

Join Eric Glyman, Hemant Taneja, Patrick Collison, and a select group of peers for candid discussions, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to drive durable growth in a changing financial landscape.
