The sector’s moving fast. Your knowledge should too. Join us for a day of sharp insights, real connections and ideas you can put to work on Monday morning.
Where sharp thinking meets real momentum
Laat je meevoeren door een dag vol inspiratie, innovatie en connectie. Fast Forward brengt accountants en financiële professionals samen rond één centraal thema: Finance that flows.
In een sector die continu in beweging is, moet ook jouw kennis blijven stromen. Verwacht frisse inzichten, sterke verhalen en concrete takeaways waar je meteen mee aan de slag kan.
Hier komen sector, trends en technologie samen. Hier voel je waar het naartoe gaat. En hier stap je buiten met energie, goesting en nieuwe ideeën.
Speakers who'll change how you think
Riadh Bahri
Als vaste nieuwslezer en Wetstraat-journalist bij VRT NWS weet Riadh Bahri als geen ander hoe je complexe thema’s helder en scherp brengt. Met jaren ervaring bij onder meer Terzake en Het Journaal gidst hij ons doorheen de dag met inhoud, nuance en de juiste dosis energie.
Cind Du Bois
Professor aan de Koninklijke Militaire School en verbonden aan Sciences Po. Econoom, politicoloog en expert in defensie-economie en economische veiligheid. Met haar academische én beleidsmatige ervaring, recent ook als Director for Industry and Economic Security op het kabinet van de Minister van Defensie, beweegt ze zich op het kruispunt van economie, strategie en geopolitiek.
Economic security in Belgium is a balancing act
België floreert als open economie. Maar in een wereld van toenemende geo-economische spanningen staat die openheid onder druk.
- Hoe bewaak je het evenwicht tussen vrije handel en economische veiligheid?
- Hoe bouw je veerkracht zonder te vervallen in protectionisme?
- En welke rol spelen bedrijven in die strategische oefening?
In deze keynote krijg je een heldere kijk op België’s aanpak rond economische veiligheid — met focus op promotie, bescherming en internationale samenwerking.
Een verhaal dat verder kijkt dan cijfers. En dat toont waarom economische veiligheid geen rem is op groei, maar een voorwaarde voor duurzame welvaart.
Wat mag je verwachten?
Fast Forward is geen klassieke studiedag. Het is een zorgvuldig opgebouwde ervaring waar inhoud en connectie elkaar versterken.

It’s always a pleasure to meet the Silverfin team and connect with peers at an event like Fast Forward. It’s a valuable opportunity to share our experiences and see first-hand how each firm is embracing new technology in meaningful ways.

10 years of looking forward
Fast Forward started in 2016 as a gathering of forward-thinking accountants in Belgium. What began as a single event has grown into the premier conference for accounting professionals who want to stay ahead of the curve.
This year, we’re celebrating a decade of innovation by taking Fast Forward on the road for the first time. Five events. Five markets. One shared vision: accounting that flows.

If you ask me, accountancy, accountants anyway, all those digital platforms, that gives me a bit a a headache. But today here, at Fastforward Unplugged, it's an oasis of We came here because we always want to be part of the digital story and we want to learn a lot, also to chat with other offices. Get inspired, that's actually the most important thing. Especially how the AI is evolving. Very inspiring today, very nice to see what is moving on the market. It's really well put together, very interesting topics that have come up. We'll leave with a booklet of tips and tricks today. When I hear from the panel discussion how other offices use it, such as with libraries and stuff, I do think that can help us even further, yes. Super interesting, lots of fun sessions, met and talked to a lot of cool people. I had a lot of relaxation today. I'm cellphone free today. I love this feeling of being unplugged. Don't spend too much time on the mobile. And focus on of what's happening here. It sits nicely in my box. Not opened yet. We've inspired a lot of people again today. We as an organization get a lot of energy out of it and I'm especially looking forward to next year. It will be another top edition.
