Our team had the pleasure of attending the DACT Treasury Fair, an important event in the Dutch treasury community that brings together industry professionals, thought leaders, and innovators. From reconnecting with long-time contacts to meeting new faces, the event once again proved to be an invaluable platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and discussions about the evolving treasury landscape.

Reconnecting and Expanding Our Network

Alana shared her experience, noting how the event provided a great opportunity to catch up with familiar candidates and update them on our expanding presence in Germany. “Meeting treasurers in person led to some great conversations about how their roles are becoming even more vital, especially in the German market.” The relaxed atmosphere, especially during the networking drinks, made for meaningful exchanges in a more informal setting.

Pieter reflected on his history with the event, recalling his first DACT Treasury Fair back in 2009. “It is very nice to see how the association and the fair remain the pivot of the Dutch treasury community. What I liked then still is there: learning about what is new in treasury and building & maintaining relations. Over time the Fair has gotten better with more modern “fair technologies” and in better venues. Also it is nice that increased diversity with, for example, more nationalities, an increase in Women in Treasury but also other types of treasury providers results in a broader set of topics to discuss. I look forward to what will happen in the next 15 years

Key Takeaways from the Event

One of the highlights for Haia was the chance to discuss market trends and innovations influencing the treasury sector. “Attending the DACT Treasury Fair this year was a great experience. It was great to reconnect with so many familiar faces, both candidates and clients, as well as meet new professionals in the treasury space. Events like these always provide valuable opportunities to exchange insights and strengthen relationships.”

Looking Ahead

DACT is always a key event for us, bringing together great conversations, fresh insights, and plenty of opportunities to strengthen relationships. Each year, it’s clear how much the treasury profession continues to evolve, making these connections even more valuable.

We’re already looking forward to next year and the new discussions it will bring. If we didn’t get a chance to catch up at DACT this time, let’s connect soon!
