Opening Keynote

Frank Cappel, RVP Value Solutions Consulting, Coupa | Donna Wilczek, SVP Product Strategy & Innovation, Coupa
Economic disruption calls for business transformation led by finance and procurement teams to build long-term strength and resilience. Responding to today's macroeconomic challenges quickly and effectively is no longer enough. Leaders must do more with less, accelerate time to value, and make strategic decisions that are scalable and adaptable as business needs change. Hear from Coupa leaders and customers on how its Business Spend Management (BSM) platform accelerates digitisation, optimises performance, and strengthens your tech strategy.
