THANK YOU

A big thank you to all our speakers who made valuable and insightful contributions to the SEPA UK & E-Invoicing conferences 2008.  We were delighted to see such as good turnout of attendees from all corners of the globe during these tough economic times. It was an unanimous decision that this was the best event yet in terms of content and speakers, and the level of networking that was apparent.

We would also like to thank our sponsors Sentenial and CSC, and E-invoicing exhibitors Accountis Europe and Sungard for making this event a success.

We look forward to coming back in 2009 and hope to see many new faces and as well as those familiar to the conference.
