A huge thank you to the 800 attendees and over 25 exhibitors at Xerocon NZ 2013. It’s by far the biggest Xerocon to date globally and more than twice the size of last year’s event.
From the feedback personally and on social media, we are pumped that people were getting huge value and it’s being seen as essential attendance for accounting and bookkeeping partners, whether making the transition or well on the up-and-up, as well as add-on partners.
People loved Rod’s keynote and all the info revealed by the product managers, seemed to appreciate the hard-hitting critiques of the profession from Viv Brownrigg and Greg Sheenan, and found lots of useful material amongst topics such as marketing, training, and add-ons in the streams. The API and Add-on day prior was also a huge hit capped off by a fascinating panel discussion on business funding.
The Gala Dinner and Awards evening topped it all off. TV personality Jaquie Brown added to the glamour with flawless MCing and Auckland band Halo got the dance floor humming right from the get-go.
The Xero Partner Awards recognise our top partners in New Zealand. Congratulations to all the winners:
