Deloitte Luxembourg

Deloitte Luxembourg organized its 9^th edition of the annual Horizon Conference at the Philharmonie Luxembourg on 4 April. The event gathered 250 industry professionals from across the globe to discover what lies ahead for the financial sector as it faces, with some uncertainty, the evolving financial industry landscape.

The conference’s objective was to unearth what the future has in store for professionals as they navigate their way through this new territory. True to this mission statement, John Psaila, Managing Partner at Deloitte Luxembourg, revealed that the next edition of the Horizon Conference will break with tradition and extend the conference to a full day event, opening up to the next generation of leaders and innovators.

This event carried a clear message: it is time to embrace change and break with tradition. Professionals should be comfortable with the idea of disruption, which often goes hand-in-hand with stepping outside of the norm and pushing the boundaries to reveal a new era of opportunity.

We attend the presence of inspiring mountaineer and motivational speaker, Cathy O’Dowd, were informed on the ever-present dangers of cyber security from expert Mikko Hypponen, and exchange about interesting Brexit views from transparency campaigner, Gina Miller.

While much of the financial industry’s future remains to be seen, the conference was sure to leave its audience with a clear idea of how to tackle the challenges ahead. As Luxembourg continues to cement itself as an influential European business hub, the necessity to embrace growth and transformation is key to a successful future. The financial landscape is at a pivotal moment in time...and the possibilities are infinite!
