Justification Toolkit

We know it’s difficult for you to get away from your desk. Especially since there’s so much information available to you from the web. 

However, there’s no substitute for “face time” and networking. The knowledge gained, not only from listening to case studies, best practices and solutions, but from interacting with your peers and colleagues is priceless!  Attendance at the 10^th Annual Accounts Payable Conference & Expo^® will help you effectively meet and overcome the challenges you are facing today!

The 10^th Annual Accounts Payable Conference & Expo^® is where AP and controllers will gather to make important connections and expand their knowledge.

General Tips:

Many travel budgets and training budgets have been slashed, and some companies are experiencing financial problems. This means that, regardless of the merits of a conference, you’ll probably need to justify the expense. So here are some things you might want to consider:

• Focus on what you will specifically bring back to your organization as return for the investment.
• Offer to prepare and deliver a short presentation and Q&A to your colleagues to share what you learned. That way others in your unit will get the benefits of your attendance, too.
• Share the agenda and speaker handouts with your colleagues. As an attendee, you have unlimited access to materials posted by speakers.
• Be ready with a plan that shows who will cover for you while you are attending the conference.
