The Coupa Inspire Multiplier Effect is happening in London

To help us reach more of our global community we are condensing the best parts of Inspire and it’s incredible energy into a series of free one-day events across the globe. As part of the European leg of the tour, we’re coming to London.

We understand that whilst there is no substitute for the dazzling event in Las Vegas this May, it isn’t practical for everyone to get there. By taking to the road we can deliver the Inspire magic to more of our global community and generate more transformative Coupa community conversations.

If you’re a leader or decision maker and can’t make Las Vegas, but are serious about achieving spend excellence and positioning yourself for success, then this is for you!
