SE FinanceNEXT

Finance is not just one profession and career paths are not always linear. Join us at Inforum’s inaugural FinanceNEXT event where a panel of accomplished women will discuss the myriad possibilities of careers in finance – and how you can work toward them.
FinanceNEXT is a networking and learning group for those who work in or with an interest in business-to-business finance, such as accounting, private equity/venture capital, internal corporate finance, or banking.
