ABOUT THE EVENT
Connect once, connect to all
On April 22nd, 2026, The Digital Business Networks Alliance (DBNAlliance) is hosting an event that brings together procurement, finance, tax, and IT leaders in the financial heart of New York City to accelerate e-invoicing and digital document exchange in North America.
As companies look for faster, simpler ways to exchange invoices and business documents, interoperable networks have become essential. In Europe and parts of Asia, shared standards and the Peppol network have enabled e-invoicing to scale quickly. However, in the United States, a fragmented market and lack of common infrastructure have slowed adoption.
This event brings the market together around the “connect once, connect to all” principle. Creating alignment on a standardized approach to B2B document exchange. For U.S. companies, the impact is tangible: reduced manual processing, faster payment cycles, lower integration costs, and improved data accuracy across finance, tax, and procurement teams.
The event will feature early adopters and market leaders, including Microsoft, the Minidstry of Business, Innovation & Employment of New Zealand, and Halliburton who are participating as first testers and speakers. They will share real world perspectives on what it takes to move toward interoperable e-invoicing and digital document exchange at scale.
Real change happens when leaders align in person. Join your peers in New York City and help shape the future of e-invoicing in the United States. Secure your tickets here.
