2026 Summer Conference
When the world turns volatile, treasury is the overture—the first notes that bring order, pace and confidence to what follows.
DACT invites you to The Treasury Overture: Composing Clarity in a Volatile World at the National Opera & Ballet (De Nationale Opera & Ballet), where the setting is as inspiring as the conversation.
Together we’ll listen to the global movements shaping rates, FX and liquidity, translate them into practical choices for working capital, risk and resilience, and share the tools that help teams stay in tune as conditions change.
Expect standout perspectives—from journalism and markets to private equity—plus moments of surprise that fit the stage. Join us on this annual event, sponsored by ING for an afternoon of insight, connection and momentum.

Michiel Vos, Dutch-American correspondent, highly sought-after speaker and well-known talk show guest, recognized for his sharp analysis of U.S. politics, global developments and transatlantic relations
