Xerocon Sydney: highlights, photos, parties and more

Xerocon Sydney is the annual global conference held by the leading global cloud accounting platform, Xero. It's the largest event of its kind for accountants and bookkeepers across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. 

Xerocon provides an opportunity for accountants and bookkeepers to see the latest and greatest in Xero technology, apps and attend inspiring talks from industry experts. 

Coined the 'Coachella for accountants', Xerocon Sydney certainly lived up to its reputation this year. See highlights from the event for leading accountants and bookkeepers.

After exhibiting at Xerocon London in July and then Xerocon New Orleans in August - our next stop was Sydney! Chaser has integrated with the Xero cloud accounting platform since we launched in 2014 - so the Xero community is close to our hearts. 

Over 3,000 attendees were registered for this year's Sydney event- one of the largest to date. The two-day event provided keynote speakers across multiple stages, updates on the latest industry trends, and talks from Xero's CEO Steve Vamos. See highlights from the two-day event below.

Highlights from Xerocon Sydney 2022

Day one

Chaser team members Krissie and Amaya set up at stand E14 ready to discuss all things accounts receivables with Xerocon Sydney attendees. 

Speaker sessions took place throughout the day at breakout stages, including talks from Kemi Nekvapil, Adam Goodes, Rachael Powell, and Anna Curzon.

Things got busy at the Chaser stand as accountants and bookkeepers arrived at the venue. The Chaser team shared insights with delegates on Chaser's human approach to accounts receivables automation, and how you can use Chaser and Xero to get invoices paid in the most efficient and friendly way possible.

The Xero stand was also busy as accountants and bookkeepers gathered to find out about the latest updates and what's coming next and get their hands on Xero's hand-drawn, personalised tote bags by artist Brent Smith.

Accounts payable software Lightyear was Chaser's neighbor in the exhibitor hall. Together we help businesses to pay - and to get paid faster. The Chaser and Lightyear team finished day 1 with a cocktail at Apollonia bar in Sydney.

Rides and attractions were open for Xerocon's guests and exhibitors to use, including the big dipper, hook-a-duck, and bumper carts.

Some of the team from AdvanceTrack Outsourcing were spotted in the dance tent before the evening came to a close.
