For those of you who were able to attend the IFO Fusion 2012 conference in Nashville, I hope you had a chance to stop by Lavante’s booth and have your “catch the wave” photo taken! Also, and more I hope you were able to attend one of Lavante’s five panel discussions that were headlined by some of the finest thought leaders in accounts payable today. We were so pleased to collaborate with so many experts in the AP field to develop and present these five very different, content-rich presentations. In an effort to recognize these individuals and their contributions to the AP industry, Lavante presented each panelists with a Lavante AP Thought Leadership Award.
We value the contributions made by these AP professionals. They not only spent considerable time and effort to create the presentations, but they were all willing to openly share their individual experiences and perspectives about their companies and departments. Ultimately, it is this type of interactive, open exchange that advances forward-thinking approaches and methodologies in the accounts payable field. It is an honor to be part of these discussions and to work with such an experienced and insightful group of AP professionals.
