If I can think of one word to describe the last 19 months, it would be resilience. As a community of advisors and small businesses, we supported each other, and we endured. I’m thrilled to announce that after a two year hiatus, we’re bringing back Xerocon, this time to the great city of New Orleans from May 25-26, 2022 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

We hope you’ll join us, at what some have affectionately coined as the ‘Coachella for accountants and bookkeepers’, to reconnect with other forward thinking professionals, to celebrate accomplishments, and to learn more about the latest Xero tools and features. It’ll be a well deserved break after tax season, and we can’t wait to host you. Find out more about the event and how to purchase your ticket here. We’ll continue to update you on the agenda, speakers and entertainment over the coming weeks.

Known for its festive spirit, live music, unique heritage and traditions, New Orleans also embodies resilience and perseverance. We witnessed the recent devastation from Hurricane Ida, and our thoughts are with those affected, and with the communities who are rebuilding.

We’ve established a fundraising campaign with Americares to support the people and communities impacted by Hurricane Ida, the California wildfires, and other natural disasters.  Xero has also pledged to match up to US$20,000. Americares is a health-focused relief and development organization that responds to people affected by poverty or disaster with life-changing medicine, medical supplies and health programs. If you are interested in contributing, you can donate here.

Stay tuned for more on Xerocon, and we can’t wait to see you next May.
