Coupa’s 14 City Agentic Roadshow Seeks to Accelerate and Bridge the Gap Between AI Ambition and Adoption

With more than 450+ customers now running Navi Agents, the company’s Coupa Connect roadshow builds on recent agentic success by delivering hands on workshops to help companies quickly deploy custom AI Agents

FOSTER CITY, Calif. – August 31, 2026 – Coupa, the leading platform for autonomous spend management, announced a 14-city global roadshow series titled Coupa Connect: Building Your Agentic Future. These events build on the huge success witnessed at the company’s recent DevCon (link) event held at Inspire in Las Vegas, to address the gap between AI ambition and adoption by using a workshop-based approach to help customers quickly build and deploy Navi AI agents onsite at the events. 

The workshops are based on Coupa’s Catalyst program introduced at Coupa Inspire earlier this year. Dozens of customers have since held highly personalized Catalyst workshops, resulting in many now purchasing Coupa Compose, the company’s agentic framework solution, to help deploy their own agents.  

There is no cost to attend the roadshow series and seats are filling up fast. At the events, attendees will partner side-by-side with Coupa forward-deployed engineers and other experts to build working agents ready to meet customer business needs. 

Many customers saw this work in action at DevCon earlier this year, where attendees built 138 AI agents onsite, with 130 of them now running in production. Demand for Catalyst workshops grew quickly, resulting in Coupa bringing the roadshow series to  14 cities around the world, including Dallas, Santiago, Zurich, Madrid, Frankfurt, and more.

In addition, Coupa is proud to announce that it will be hosting a DevCon EMEA event October 7 in London to build on the success from the DevCon US event.  

Using Agent Studio, Depot Connect International (DCI) cloned and customized Coupa’s Invoice Payment Batch Creation Agent to process $20.1M across 2,395 payments autonomously -saving 42 analyst hours and driving a 70x+ ROI. 

"The Coupa Connect events are designed to help our customers use Coupa to create AI agents at speed and scale," said John Frank, Chief Customer Officer at Coupa. "With our low-code / no-code Agent Studio and fully integrated platform, attendees quickly learn how to build and deploy real-world AI agents that can optimize their spend operations immediately."

Last month, Coupa was recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Source-to-Pay Suites report, with an outstanding 4.9 out of 5.0 stars and a 99 percent Willingness to Recommend rate from verified end-users, based on 49 reviews as of April 2026. This deep market trust is mirrored in Coupa's rapid agentic AI momentum, with more than 450 customers, such as Depot Connect International., NFI and Synchrony, actively running Coupa Navi agents to automate their spend operations. The Coupa Connect series now builds on these proven use cases and best practices to accelerate the success of those organizations ready to take their first agentic steps.
