Programme
- 12:00 – Welcome Lunch
- 13:00 – Welcome Words by Silverfin Leadership
- 13:10 – Keynote by Alexis Slama – The Firm in 2030 : beyond production, what are we selling?
Accounting production is automating – and a flow always ends up being negotiated at the lowest price. This keynote explores what will justify your fees in 2030, and why Luxembourg has the advantage of arriving after its neighbours. - 14:10 – Silverfin Vision by Stephanie Dechamps & Bassam Alaoui, Silverfin
Where Silverfin is heading and what it means for your firm and the Luxembourg market. A strategic overview of Silverfin’s direction, backed by Visma, and what the next chapter looks like for the profession. - 14:25 – Product Vision by Mohamed Karam Miaadi & Nick Meerlaen, Silverfin
Partners and technology demonstrating what modern accounting looks like in practice - 15:15 – Coffee Break
- 15:50 – Panel discussion: Change Is Constant : How Do Successful Organisations Adapt?
Luxembourg’s business landscape is changing fast : talent is hard to find and harder to keep, salary indexation keeps pushing costs up, and new rules such as DORA, the AI Act and electronic invoicing keep raising the bar. Transformation is no longer a project you choose to launch – it is a condition to stay competitive.
Our panel brings together transformation leaders to share what really works on the ground – concrete examples, honest feedback and practical ideas.

Our partners
Fast Forward goes international
What began in 2016 as a gathering of forward-thinking accountants in Belgium has grown into something much larger. Fast Forward is now the reference event for finance professionals across Europe who refuse to stand still.
To mark 10 years of that ambition, we are going further than ever. Alongside our flagship event in Flanders – where it all started – we are bringing the same sharp thinking, authentic connections and forward momentum to five new markets, including Luxembourg. From Wallonia and the Netherlands to the UK and Ireland, the Fast Forward community is growing.
Five events. Five countries. One vision: accounting that flow
Brought to you by Silverfin
Silverfin was founded in 2013 with a clear mission: to eliminate the manual work and disconnected processes that hold accounting firms back. Our cloud platform automates working papers, accounts production and tax compliance for more than 1,000 firms across 18 countries – giving accountants the space to focus on high-value advisory work.
Silverfin is used by all Big 4 firms and backed by the Visma Group. In Luxembourg, we work with firms of all sizes – from independent fiduciaries to the largest international networks – who trust us to meet the highest standards of data security, CSSF compliance and ISO 27001 certification.
