Comments from participants

600Minutes CFO was an excellent forum to exchange ideas and experiences among CFO’s. In the end, the CFO’s role as a business partner comes down to personal influation and connection, which became clear in the fruitful group discussions. One of the most valuable elements of the event is definitely networking!
Juha Laaksonen, CFO, Fortum Oyj, Finland

600Minutes is an admirably well working concept with an intensive program in which no time is spent on long sales pitches. I picked up many new ideas and useful contacts that I had not expected in advance.
Stig Johansson, Senior Vice President. Finance, Controlling & Business Planning, Papyrus AB, Sweden

It is very interesting to listen to top executives who set the standard for the rest of the market. Thanks to the well researched topics in the event's agenda, 600Minutes CFO offers insight into what is new and up-to-the-minute within the CFO role.
Per Nordberg, CFO and Vice President, Sandvik AB, Sweden
