Our next Major Event is The Buckeye Conference, coming to Cincinnati Ohio on September 24th and 25th of 2025, and will be held at Northern Kentucky Convention Center.  The conference is sponsored by the Cincinnati, Northwest Ohio, and Columbus chapters of CFMA, and will have attendees from these chapters plus other CFMA chapters in the Midwest.  Keynote speaker is Andrew Fastow, former CFO Enron (bio below)

As in the past, we expect to have a great two days of training for CFOs, controllers, and other leaders of the construction industry.  We believe there is great value and opportunity to be part of an exciting event, which you have come to expect over the last 20 years.

Keynote Speaker Bio:

Andy Fastow was the Chief Financial Officer of Enron Corp. from 1998 – 2001. In 2004, he pled guilty to two counts of securities fraud, and was sentenced to six years in federal prison. He completed his sentence in 2011, and now lives with his family in Houston, Texas. Andy currently consults with management, directors, attorneys, and hedge funds on how to best identify potentially critical finance, accounting, compensation, and cultural issues.

His training sessions focus on risk in the “gray zone”, where decisions that may technically be allowed give rise to risks that are not properly considered. He helps attendees better understand the limited role of auditors and attorneys, how technically-correct but ethically-challenged decisions may be interpreted by the market, and the steps they can take to become more self-aware and able to identify, price, and manage these risks.

Andy is the only Enron executive that has taken full responsibility for his actions and has both repeatedly and publicly expressed remorse. In addition to serving his prison sentence, Andy forfeited far more money than he ever earned at Enron. He is credited with being the individual most responsible for helping recover $6 billion for Enron shareholders.
