Gear up for Xero Summer Series

The MCs for Xero Summer Series are our wonderful Australian Xero Partner Advisory Council members, Aly Garrett, Jason Robinson and Sarah Lawrance. *The MCs vary across the five locations.

Join us for a fireside chat and get to know Angad Soin, ANZ Managing Director & Global Chief Strategy Officer. Together, we’ll uncover his vision for what’s next for Xero in Australia, answering your questions on everything from key priorities to product updates.

Staying one step ahead of technology requires more than just chasing the next trend. But how do you think beyond the next big thing? Join Xero’s technology futurist, James Bergin, as he shares the principles of strategic foresight and uses them to examine how technology is shaping the future of the accounting and bookkeeping industry. You’ll discover the elements of a future-ready blueprint to help your practice adapt to digital disruption, and redefine success beyond the bottom line. This summer, think like a futurist to architect long-term success.

Did you know that the ‘peak accountant’ age is 36? And that business owner-managers exit their businesses soon after the age of 50? In this session, Bernard Salt identifies and examines the demographic traits, milestones, and outlook for the SME business bedrock that underpins the Australian economy. He (clinically) dissects data, smashes stereotypes, identifies emerging opportunities (state by state), and scopes out business issues for the year ahead.

Chelsea and Jay Pottenger from EQ Minds will bring your team on an incredible journey of how to build adaptability and maximise your potential. You will leave with a series of actionable insights about how to invest in your mental and physical wellbeing. *Speaker will vary across the five locations. Each location will have either Chelsea or Jay as the session speaker.

As the sun goes down, the connecting begins. Sip, chat, and mingle against the backdrop of the setting sun on a perfect summer evening. You’ll get the chance to pick the brains of the speakers and build connections that extend beyond the event. At Xero Summer Series, networking is just as important as the information gathering.
