For those don't know Xero the Accounting Software holds an annual conference in a few locations globally. This is called XeroCon and at the moment they are holding it in Sydney at The Dome at Olympic Park (there are carnival rides how cool).

The first day started with our registrations and introduction to the event (1,300 people, 82 exhibitors) going through some of things Xero has in its sights. If you are using Xero you should be excited as Xero is working really hard on providing actionable information to you the business owner and to us the accountant so that we can help you run an even better business.

As well as taking time to listen to some really good speakers on how technology is changing business and how engaging the customer is completely changing we made a real effort to go and speak to the exhibitors. This to us is the most important part of the event as we see Xero as the base and the add-ons (the exhibitors) as the icing. The add-ons can provide so much functionality and improvement to business it is amazing.

We have seen from exhibitors the ability to cost the time of your employees by the second (that is right you can see your labour cost going up every second someone is working), automated sms reminders to pay bills on time and to help manage overdue accounts and so much more that I am not able to give them justice in one blog post. The things that these add-ons are doing is amazing and is going to help completely change and revolutionise aspects of business.

Thanks to Xero for holding an awesome event and looking forward to the second day.
