Coupa Inspire 2018 EMEA: Spend Management Superheroes

Managing your business spend is challenging, grueling work. It’s work that’s absolutely vital to the health of your company, and yet, it often flies completely under the radar.

Sales gets praise for closing deals. Products are entrenched at the center of the business. But managing spend--finding those leaky faucets of cash, creating smart procedures that lower costs and add strategic value, strengthening your supply chain--that kind of work doesn’t usually get the hero treatment.

Sometimes, you have to be the kind of hero that works in the shadows, the dark knight. But that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone.

A place to team up, whether you’re from finance, procurement, or IT
At Coupa, we certainly have our own perspective on how companies can spend their money smarter. But we’re just the support, you’re the one out there fighting the battles. So we don’t just want to advise, we want to listen. Coupa Inspire ‘18 EMEA, taking place in London November 6-8, is a place for us to do that, and for you to meet your fellow spend management heroes, and share and learn from each other.

So if you’re in procurement, come to Inspire and swap stories with someone in finance, IT, or supply chain--chances are, you’ll spark some powerful ideas.
