NeuGroup for Working Capital Optimization 2026 H2 Meeting

Overview

Please join us on October 28-29, 2026 at the NeuGroup Working Capital Optimization Meeting sponsored by Falcon Investments and BBVA, where senior treasury and finance leaders will convene for focused, peer-driven discussions on strengthening liquidity and resilience in an increasingly volatile environment. The meeting will examine how organizations are elevating working capital from a tactical concern to a strategic priority that supports balance sheet flexibility and long-term value creation.

Set against ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade policies, and tariff-driven disruption, conversations will center on the critical importance of liquidity, and the practical steps companies are taking to protect and unlock cash. Members will share real-world approaches to building a sustainable cash culture, managing external shocks, and pulling internal levers to improve working capital performance across the enterprise—leaving with clearer priorities, proven frameworks, and practical ideas they can implement immediately within their own organizations.

Sessions Topics May Include:

1. Cash Culture Sustainability: A member roundtable discussion on how to achieve success and avoid the pitfalls to succeed with sustaining a cash culture. CFO sponsorship, business-unit education, procurement alignment, KPI's, incentives and ownership models are all key elements to change behavior but how organizations sustain momentum is key to optimizing cash. Members repeatedly flagged cash conversion cycle strain, DSO/DPO discipline, inventory rigor, payment runs, and term compliance as priority issues.
2. Projects and Priorities: What are you working on? How can members connect with each other to move these projects forward? What have you achieved since the last meeting?
3. Inventory financing: A product whose time has come? With the tremendous capital expenditure requirements brought about by AI, inventory financing's benefits are emerging with respect to cost, balance sheet management, ratings agencies, and ease of execution. Sponsors Falcon and BBVA and members demystify this emerging financing tool
4. Scaling Supplier Finance and A/R Financing: Everything old is new again. In this session, members will explore emerging techniques and technologies in SCF and A/R financing that have made these tools more accessible as levers to use for DSO/DPO and working capital management. Also, where do dynamic discounting, virtual cards, supplier segmentation, AR automation, collections workflows, credit risk techniques, fit into this ever-increasing toolbox?
