The Institute of Finance and Management and PayStream Advisors Partnering to Launch New Event: P2P Automation Masters
Portland, ME (PRWEB) January 14, 2016 -- The Institute of Finance and Management (IOFM) and PayStream Advisors announced today that they will join forces in 2016 to host P2P Automation Masters , a pre-conference event and all-new educational track within IOFM’s Accounts Payable and Procure to Pay Conference and Expo at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, October 24-26th.
Since 2007, PayStream has independently hosted its annual Innovate P2P Summit, featuring critical workshops, roundtables, and keynote speeches by leaders in the P2P marketplace. Automation Masters will replace and expand upon Innovate, offering attendees the same high-caliber programming and intimate networking that earned the program its highest rating ever in 2015, plus access to the full AP & P2P Conference and Expo.
P2P Automation Masters will begin as an intimate full-day pre-conference event before folding into the AP & P2P program as a distinct educational track. Automation Masters attendees will have the option to attend any or all of the 13 sessions led by PayStream’s prestigious faculty, or attend concurrent sessions offered in the conference program. These sessions cover every aspect of the P2P field, from leadership development to day-to-day department function. Numerous networking events and an expanded exhibit hall will round out the experience.
This event combines PayStream’s decade-long record of groundbreaking research and thought leadership with the wide-reaching scope of IOFM's AP & P2P Conference & Expo. Past attendees of either event can expect more keynote speeches from business insiders, more critical P2P players in attendance, more intimate workshops for the development and exchange of new ideas and practices, and the combined commitment to excellence of both IOFM and PayStream Advisors.
Henry Ijams, Managing Director of Paystream Advisors, sees the new event as an expanded version of Innovate. “P2P Automation Masters will still provide the same intimate gathering and networking experience that Innovate attendees have enjoyed in the past,” said Ijams. “By adding the high-value content and audience of the AP & P2P Conference to the offering, this will by far be the best place to gain and share knowledge with the industry.”
“We are thrilled to partner with PayStream on this program,” said Brian Cuthbert, Executive Director of IOFM. "By bringing the AP & P2P and Innovate programs and audiences together in one place, it’s now even easier for P2P professionals to access the very best professional development and in-person networking our field has to offer.”
The Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay Conference and Expo is a biannual event offering workshops, certification programs, critical keynote addresses, a curated exhibit hall, and opportunities for leading professionals in the AP and P2P sphere to network, share ideas, and collectively determine the future of the business.
