Treasury Dragons invites you to their event
About this event
Cash forecasting sits at the heart of modern treasury. When it goes wrong, everything downstream suffers. In a world of volatile rates, tighter liquidity, and constant uncertainty, treasurers need a clear, reliable view of future cash to fund the business, manage risk, and put capital to work with confidence.
This Treasury Dragons session cuts through the noise. Three cash forecasting platforms. Seven minutes each. One treasury audience. No fluff, no extended demos, just sharp, focused pitches from Panax, Cobase and Automation Boutique explaining what they do, how they’re different, and why it matters.
For treasurers, this is a fast, efficient way to compare solutions side by side and understand the real trade-offs between different approaches.
In under an hour, you’ll leave with a clearer view of the market - and which solutions are worth a deeper look.
If cash visibility and forecasting confidence are high on your agenda, this session is designed for you.
