Accounts Payable Automation Digital Summit

17-19 November, 2026

The Next Step for Accounts Payable

The AP revolution automated the invoice. Touchless processing and agent-driven workflows mean accounts payable can now run itself. The question is no longer how to automate AP, but what AP becomes once it does.
The answer is the connected finance engine. Once running autonomously, it becomes the connective tissue between procurement, treasury, payments, and the supplier ecosystem, turning transactional data into cash, spend, and risk intelligence for the whole enterprise. This summit examines how AP moves from a function that has been automated to the strategic core of autonomous finance: the skills required, how processes should connect, and the ideal technology configuration.

Our expert speakers will examine:


    • Connected Procure-to-Pay: Extending autonomy beyond the invoice to unify procurement, receiving, and payment across one intelligent, end-to-end P2P cycle.
    • Multi-Agent Finance: Orchestrating AI agents that collaborate across AP, treasury, and payments, completing workflows without human handoffs.
    • Cash & Working Capital Intelligence: Turning AP and spend data into real-time forecasting, working capital optimization, and CFO-level strategy.
    • The Connected Supplier Ecosystem: Making e-invoicing, global compliance mandates, and supplier networks a source of advantage rather than overhead.
    • Trust & Governance at Scale: Building the controls, audit trails, and fraud defences an autonomous finance function needs to be trusted with real money.
