A 5-Star Event! Why are leaders attending SSOW!

The 2024 SSOW, by far, exceeded my expectations. I was so fortunate to meet and connect with many like-minded people and took away some great ideas to incorporate into my workplace. It was my first SSOW and I will be back. Looking forward to next year's.

Tash Grant, ACT Government

The Shared Services and Outsourcing Week (SSOW) Conference and Awards Night is THE premier event for the sector. I highly recommend investing in attending this event to network with peers, learn from experienced operators about their successes and challenges, and collaborate as we continue to develop the field of practice and research. This is an unparalleled opportunity to gain insights, share knowledge, and learn about innovation in shared services

Dr. Kym Davis
