E-Invoicing Exchange Summit Americas: Celebrating the Launch of the Digital Business Networks Alliance

More than 120 experts, thought leaders and key decision-makers from 25 countries met in Miami from April 24 to 26, 2023 in order to discuss the current and future trends in electronic invoicing, procurement and continuous transaction controls (CTCs). It have been three jam-packed and exciting days full of valuable insights from global experts sharing interesting developments in the world of E-Invoicing for the Americas and globally.

Two very well attended interactive workshops kicked off the event. The first one was run by Christiaan van der Valk and Michel Gilis from the European E-Invoicing Service Provider Association (EESPA), demystifying E-Invoicing and its abbreviations and was followed by the Business Payment Coalition discussing the next steps for the E-Invoice Exchange Framework for the U.S. and the future possibilities for organizations to join.

One of the many highlights was the celebration of the launch of the Digital Business Networks Alliance (DBNA) in the U.S. The wide acceptance and embrace of the four-corner-model was evident in the numerous presentations. Leading corporate case studies gave insights into their current E-Invoicing implementations as well as into the future trends of automation and artificial intelligence. Further subjects of debate included the harmonization towards a truly global interoperability framework (GIF), which was also the topic of a high-level expert panel.

Once again, the E-Invoicing Exchange Summit has been a great space where the E-Invoicing and E-Reporting community exchanged ideas and benefitted from great networking opportunities. Numerous excellent discussions and face-to-face talks took place with customers, partners, and policy drivers on the convergence of the different E-Invoicing and E-Reporting models and how all can help reduce complexity and manage the transition to E-Invoicing and Continuous Transaction Controls.

The very positive feedback from all parties proves the need for a dedicated platform for E-Invoicing for the Americas to share best practices and ideas. The E-Invoicing Exchange Summit is glad to take over this role and to establish itself as the key event for the community. We say thank you to all participants, speakers and partners that made the 6th edition of the Exchange Summit a huge success and look very much forward to seeing you next year, April 22 to 24, 2024 in Miami.
