AP Automation Digital Summit
18-19 November 2025

The pressure on AP leaders is intensifying, with no signs of slowing down. With the expectation to cut costs mounting, the rapid evolution of AI, and increasing regulatory complexity, the need to optimize operations has never been more pressing. According to SSON research data, 56% of GBS organizations cite manual data entry as their biggest challenge in AP, highlighting the persistent burden of inefficient processes. Whilst 14% of GBS organizations are experimenting with Generative AI and Agentic AI tools, many are still working towards strengthening their foundational processes, from e-invoicing compliance to exception handling and data standardization. This year’s AP Automation Virtual Summit aims to close this gap by showcasing practical solutions to AP operational bottlenecks and offering a clear view of what is to come. Across two days of interactive panel discussions and practitioner-led insights, this summit will supercharge your AP strategy and ignite your next big leap forward.

Key Topics at this event include:

    • Utilizing AI to Slash Inefficiencies and Supercharge AP Accuracy 
    • Eliminating Bottlenecks, manual intervention, and delays in approvals 
    • Tackling Next Generation Fraud, such as AI-generated invoices and Deepfakes in AP 
    • Data Entry to Data Strategy: Upskilling Your Teams for the Future of AP 
    • Building Seamless, Intelligent Workflows Across Your Tech Stack 
    • Mastering Global E-invoicing Mandates Without Sacrificing Efficiency 
    • 2026 and Beyond: Examining Key Trends Redefining the Future of AP
