THE TURNAROUND PROFESSION OF THE FUTURE: New techniques, digital influences & disruptive technologies The 11th Annual European Conference was held in Amsterdam on 7th and 8th June 2018, attracting almost 150 international turnaround professionals from across Europe, the USA and beyond.

This year’s theme was chosen in response to feedback received last year and a thirst for understanding more about what the future of our profession might look like. With the ever-increasing pace of change we must be alert to both the opportunities and threats that we face in our day-to-day business dealings. 2018’s Conference sought to provide some of the tools and knowledge required to continue, exploring the new techniques, digital influences and disruptive technologies that will impact the future of our profession.
