SUMMARY:What Is Money Now?  The Value of the CFO — A Live Conversation
DESCRIPTION:What Is Money Now?\nMoney\, the Value of the CFO — A Live Conversation\nSeptember 15 | 5:30–8:00 PM\nConcordia University Irvine \nWe use money every day. But when did you last stop to think about what money actually is? \nFrom coins and cash to credit cards\, global currencies\, digital payments\, cryptocurrency and stablecoins\, the way we create\, move and think about money continues to evolve. \nJoin the British American Business Council of Orange County and Concordia University Irvine for a lively\, accessible conversation exploring what money is\, how it moves\, where it may be going — and what all of this means for businesses and the CFOs responsible for navigating it. \nThe evening begins with a fast-paced journey through the history of money — from early forms of exchange and the gold standard to today’s increasingly digital financial world. \nFrom there\, we’ll open the conversation with perspectives from CFO leadership\, foreign exchange and currency\, and blockchain and digital payments. \nWe’ll explore questions including: \n\nWhat gives money value in the first place?\nHow does money actually move around the world?\nWhat does a CFO really do — and where does a great CFO create value?\nHow is the CFO’s role changing?\nWhat are blockchain\, cryptocurrency and stablecoins actually changing?\nWhich developments matter to real businesses — and which are mostly hype?\nWhat might “money” look like ten years from now?\n\nThis isn’t a technical seminar\, an investment presentation or a crypto pitch. It’s an informal\, question-led conversation designed to make a complicated subject understandable — and interesting. \nBring your questions. We want the audience in the conversation. \nWhether you’re a business owner\, executive\, finance professional\, entrepreneur\, student\, young professional or simply curious about the future of money\, you’re invited to join us. \nDoors & Networking: 5:30 PM\nConversation Begins: approximately 6:15 PM\nNetworking continues until 8:00 PM \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
