The Accounts Payable (AP) function is on the brink of its biggest evolution yet. The days of "just getting invoices approved" are officially over—AP is becoming a strategic hub for efficiency, insight, and control.
Join us for a live event on Feb. 19 to unpack the BIG Trends and Predictions shaping AP in 2026. Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer at Ardent Partners, and Patricia Vazquez, SAP Concur Solution Advisor, will share research-driven insights and strategies AP teams can use to step forward with confidence.
They’ll explore:
- AI-native finance: How artificial intelligence (AI) is moving beyond the pilot phase to power the AI-native finance office of the future.
- Regulatory shifts: What new global e-invoicing mandates mean for your 2026 tech stack.
- Data as an advantage: Which AP data is becoming the CFO’s secret weapon for cash flow forecasting.
- AP redefined: Why AP is emerging as a strategic powerhouse influencing cash, strategic risk, and supplier relationships.
All live attendees will receive a copy of Ardent Partners’ AP 2026: BIG Trends and Predictions report, sponsored by SAP Concur. Don’t miss out being among the first to see the data behind the predictions so you can hit the ground running in 2026.
