SSOW Europe has been established for over two decades as the market-leading summit for the GBS, Shared Services and business transformation communities. This important partnership brings together two prestigious brands, creating an even more powerful platform for senior leaders as they drive integration and efficiency – enterprise-wide. The event’s long-anticipated return, delayed for two years by COVID-19, promises to deliver the trail-blazing speakers, trend-setting topics and high-value networking that make this the go-to face-to-face gathering for our community. 

‘We are extremely pleased to welcome EY on board again as our Lead Partner as we plan for the in-person return of SSOW”, comments Cathy Gu, Event Director. “The energy and enthusiasm we have received from our network of GBS leaders has been incredible and we know that the event’s physical return will be well worth the wait. We look forward to working closely with EY to develop thought-provoking content, innovative learning formats and dynamic networking opportunities – all of which are essential to advancing the maturity of the GBS model’.

This partnership will see EY take a leading role in driving strategic keynote discussions during the Summit and facilitate exclusive GBS leaders exchange and benchmarking. It is an important and strategic step towards SSON’s vision, which is to build a one-stop ecosystem of partners, peers and solutions for this important community.
