CFO Coalition Luncheon:
Resilience, Finance and Impact in the Age of AI 

Co-hosted by the CFO Coalition for the SDGs and the Principles for Responsible Investment

September 22rd, 2026 – Marriott Marquis, Times Square (Playwright ballroom) – 12:00–1:30 p.m

AI presents a significant opportunity for CFOs and finance leaders to reshape how their organizations create and protect value. 

Yet, the rules and standards governing the use of AI are still being written, with no single player leading across industries and governments. Business leaders face the challenge of mapping internal policies against a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape to ensure interoperability going forward.

At the same time, security is a growing concern as the digital transformation plays out. As power grids, manufacturing and transportation systems, water systems and other critical infrastructure become AI-enabled, they also become more exposed. AI must therefore be seen through both a risk and opportunity lens, with approaches that both improve and safeguard the digital and physical infrastructure operations depend on.

This interactive, Chatham House rules session provides a dedicated space for peer-to-peer dialogue, networking, and exchange of ideas. C-suite only.
