Controller Conference Switzerland 2026

Increased demands on controlling in times of upheaval

Navigation aid, driving force and link

At a time when markets are largely exhausted, technological developments are progressing at high speed and business models are becoming increasingly multifaceted, controlling has a greater responsibility than ever: as a navigation aid in phases of upheaval, as a driver of change processes and as a connecting element between strategic orientation and operational realization.

The Controller Conference Switzerland 2026 creates a framework for dialog on key financial management issues – from the use of smart automation solutions and the new requirements of IFRS 18 to the importance of controlling in crisis situations and in the structural change of entire industries and markets.

Experienced financial experts will provide insights into their practice, share proven approaches to success and shed light on challenges that many of us face. In addition to in-depth specialist presentations, there will be ample opportunity for personal exchange as well as new ideas and inspiration.

Be part of the event – and help to ensure that controlling continues to position itself as an indispensable management function in the future.

The Controller Conference Switzerland is organized by the Institute of Financial Services Zug IFZ in cooperation with the Swiss work groups of the International Association of Controllers ICV. The aim is to combine practical experience with current developments in controlling and to make this knowledge accessible to participants.
