As we wrap up the 2023 Xero New Zealand’s Roadshow, we want to reflect on the success of what was our largest Roadshow in the Asia-Pacific region.
Starting in Dunedin this October, we travelled across Aotearoa New Zealand, making stops in Christchurch, Wellington, and Hamilton, before finishing in Auckland; amounting to 10 hours and 30 minutes travelled by each Roadshow member.
The turnout was incredible, with almost 1,600 registered partners in attendance.
Along with more than 116,000 steps by our events manager and 62 aprons washed, it was a memorable time for all those involved.
Connecting our communities
Our Roadshow provided a great opportunity to inspire, educate, and connect accountants and bookkeepers nationwide.
Fuelled by 160 coffees and 250 cheese rolls, our Xero team connected with attendees to discuss how digital tools can help drive small business productivity and profitability.
With expert speakers, actionable breakout groups and networking opportunities, we connected Xero’s community and ecosystem, encouraging them to meet and learn from industry peers, various app partners, and Xero experts themselves.
There were opportunities for attendees to engage with Xero specialists and expert coaches who shared advice on cultivating high-performance teams.
Redefining the role of advisors
It’s clear that more businesses are beginning to view their accountants and bookkeepers as more than just the people who manage their money, but as trusted business advisors.
This was a key theme for the Roadshow and it’s great to see small businesses and accountants band together to navigate uncertain times and embrace the innovative tools available to support them.
From all of us here at Xero, we thank you for your continued support and for attending our 2023 Roadshow.
Look forward to welcoming you all back to our next edition in 2024.
