Xerocon Sydney confirmed for September We have confirmed Xerocon, the unmissable event for cloud accounting leaders, is coming back to Sydney in 2022. The ‘Coachella for accountants’ event is a chance for thousands of accountants and bookkeepers to connect, learn and get inspired. We’ve been unable to host Xerocon in person for the past two years as a result of the pandemic, but we’ve learnt that nothing replaces the power of face-to-face interactions and we’re very excited to finally be bringing the accounting industry together. Xerocon Sydney will be taking place from 7-8 September 2022.
