What is the Connect Roadshow?
The Connect Roadshow is a new US event series for senior Finance leaders navigating high-volume operations and complex supplier ecosystems in Shared Services environments.
Each half-day, invitation-only roundtable brings together a small group of peers for practical discussion on preventing financial leakage, improving controls and scaling automation. You'll also hear directly from Xelix customers about their real-world experience and outcomes.
What to expect?
You can expect a working session, not a conference. Each Roadshow is structured to maximise discussion and practical takeaways. Hear directly from Ferguson's AP team about their hands-on experience tackling financial leakage and their transformation journey.
