At Bright our employees attend many amazing conferences throughout the year where they not only get the opportunity to network with other businesses but also get the chance to talk face to face with some of our customers and get direct feedback on our software which is something we truly value here at Bright.
Keep on reading to hear all about the conferences Bright have attended across Ireland and the UK.
October
12th of October: Accountex Summit Manchester
This week, we attended one of the biggest accounting events of the year – Accountex Summit Manchester. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to meet existing users and familiar faces, as well as new customers. This year the event was reduced to just one day which made for a packed show – and we enjoyed every minute.
Not only were we busy representing three of our products, AccountancyManager, BrightPay and BTCSoftware, we also showcased our new brand identity. For many, it was the first opportunity to see us in our shiny new colours and customers, both new and old, were excited by the prospect of leading solutions coming together under one roof.
Ronan Martin, Sales Team Lead for BrightPay, took to the stage later in the day to host a panel discussion with a group of industry experts on “Why payroll is so much more than paying people”. The panel consisted of Rupert Farmelo from The People’s Pension, Tom Kelly from Modulr, and Steve Quayle from MAP Accountants. They discussed the increasing complexities of payroll and the opportunities it has provided for accounting firms looking to expand their payroll services. There were valuable insights shared by the panelists, particularly on the importance of implementing an integrated tech solution in order to streamline payroll processes.
Overall, the event was a success, social media was buzzing, the stands were busy, and the atmosphere was great. A big thanks to everyone who was involved in the panel, and all those who attended and visited our stands. We also want to thank Accountex for putting on another great show and we can’t wait for next year.
19th of October: AAT Conference
On the 19th of October we exhibited in Birmingham for the AAT Future Finance Live event. Another first for the Bright team. Members of the AccountancyManager and BrightPay came armed with banner stands, mugs and a whole lot of pep.
It was great to catch up with our partners, delegates and midland-based users. We tell no lie when we say that our Bright stands remained the busiest throughout the day. New faces popped up too, curious about the products and the emergence of Bright. Events are brilliant opportunities for people to see the new branding in person and we relish the opportunity to further explain our values and aims.
To top it off you may even see our very own Hayley Siklodi on the big screen! Ok, perhaps an exaggeration but we did take part in a short video so keep your eyes peeled. Thank you AAT and Birmingham, you were great.
