"As we've seen over more than a decade of holding Inspire, it's the top event of the year for any spend management or supply chain professional. Every year, our unrivaled community brings the most extraordinary energy, education, and excitement. I cannot wait for thousands to join us at our global event in May, and then bring the best of Inspire to our customers' doorsteps through our World Tour roadshow. Our goal is to give attendees a hands-on look at new innovations and product roadmap, hear about transformational journeys of success from top Coupa Trendsetters, and get access to deep-dive trainings and advisory boards to get the most out of their Coupa investment," said Kevin Iaquinto, Coupa CMO.
