Opening Keynote

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 digitization, optimizes performance, and strengthens your tech strategy.
Breakout Session #1
Option 1 - How BSM Maximizes Your ERP Investment
David Berry, CIO, Boardriders | Jeffrey Pernoud, Director of Supply Chain Operations, Waste Management | Michael van Keulen, CPO, Coupa
In a financially challenging environment, organizations seek better control of their spend whether indirect or direct. Factory shutdowns, missed customer orders and other disruptions are the result of suppliers having poor visibility into Purchase Orders and Invoices. In this session, we will discuss how both buyers and suppliers benefit from extending their procurement, sourcing and invoicing processes into direct and complex materials.
Option 2 - Streamline Your P2P on a Platform You Won’t Outgrow
Rohit Anand, Controller, Tectonic Therapeutic | Brad Keighley, Head of Global Procurement, Lacework
When finance leaders start their P2P automation journey, they often look at their existing ERP or other point solutions for a quick fix. However, managing multiple point solutions or relying on inadequate systems to access company spend data can slow down operations and can delay crucial business decisions by several days. Hear from leading Coupa customers about their vision for a holistic spend management process that goes beyond AP automation and delivers meaningful savings and value to their organization.
