Storecove Drives U.S. E-Invoicing Forward with New York Conference

The U.S. E-Invoicing Conference, hosted by the DBNAlliance in New York City, brought together leaders from across tax, finance, procurement, and technology to discuss the future of digital invoice exchange in the United States.

As global markets continue to move toward interoperable e-invoicing frameworks, the conference created a much-needed space for open discussion on how the U.S. can evolve. Attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders, explore real-world implementations, and better understand the role of interoperability in shaping the future of e-invoicing.

Throughout the event, conversations focused on key themes such as open exchange networks, reducing fragmentation, and the importance of a “connect once, connect to all” model. Speakers shared insights on how other regions have successfully implemented e-invoicing at scale, and what lessons can be applied to the U.S. market as it continues to develop.

More than anything, the conference reinforced one central idea: progress in e-invoicing will depend on collaboration across the ecosystem. Technology providers, businesses, and regulatory bodies all play a role in building a more connected and efficient framework for digital trade.

A Conference Focused on What Comes Next

What made this conference particularly impactful was its focus on what comes next for the U.S. e-invoicing landscape. Rather than simply discussing current challenges, the sessions centered on solutions, exploring how interoperable networks, open exchange models, and digital frameworks can help reduce complexity and improve efficiency.

Topics ranged from Peppol and global compliance to the role of digital business networks and the need for a “connect once, connect to all” approach. These are not just technical concepts. They represent a shift in how businesses think about invoice exchange, moving from isolated systems toward a more unified ecosystem.

The conversations were grounded in real-world experience. Attendees heard directly from organizations actively working with interoperable frameworks, giving the audience a clearer understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved in implementation.

Bringing the Ecosystem Together

One of the most valuable aspects of the conference was the diversity of perspectives in the room. Professionals from tax, procurement, finance, IT, and compliance all came together with a shared interest in improving how businesses exchange information.

This cross-functional collaboration is essential. E-invoicing does not exist in a silo. It touches multiple parts of an organization, and successful implementation depends on alignment across teams. The conference created an environment in which these perspectives could come together, leading to more informed and productive discussions.

Beyond the sessions themselves, the conversations happening between sessions were just as important. Attendees were able to connect directly with peers, share experiences, and explore how others are approaching similar challenges. These interactions reinforced the idea that progress in this space will be driven not just by technology, but by collaboration across the industry.

Storecove’s Role in Supporting the Conference

Storecove was proud to support the planning and execution of this event alongside the DBNAlliance.

Nikkie Bakker, Director of Business Development at Storecove and a member of the DBNAlliance Membership & Market Adoption Committee, played a key role in shaping the conference experience. From helping select the venue to contributing to the development of the programming, her involvement helped ensure the event delivered both strong content and a valuable attendee experience.

Dolf Kars, Chairman of the DBNAlliance and Co-Founder of Storecove, also played an important role throughout the conference. He opened the event and contributed to discussions that shaped conversations on interoperability and the future of e-invoicing in the U.S.

Creating a Strong Start to the Event

The conference began with a networking event that brought together professionals from across the e-invoicing ecosystem in a more informal setting.

Lauren Kelly, Digital Marketer at Storecove, supported the coordination of conference details and helped manage the day-of-event execution. She also planned the kickoff networking event, creating an opportunity for attendees to connect, share insights, and build relationships ahead of the main sessions.

These early interactions helped set the tone for the conference, making it easier for conversations to continue naturally throughout the event.

Why This Moment Matters

The U.S. e-invoicing landscape is at a turning point. While adoption has historically been slower compared to other regions, there is now a clear shift toward building a more connected and interoperable framework.

Events like this conference reflect that shift. They bring together the people, ideas, and organizations that will help shape what comes next. More importantly, they highlight the growing recognition that e-invoicing is not just about compliance. It is about creating more efficient, scalable, and connected ways of doing business.

The discussions in New York made it clear that the future of e-invoicing in the U.S. will be defined by collaboration, standardization, and the ability to connect systems across networks.
