Join Medius and finance experts for the Gartner Finance Symposium/Xpo™

Hear what AI-driven AP looks like in the real world

Most conversations about AI in finance right now are focused on the wrong things: model size, which agent does what, whose demo looks most impressive. What actually matters is whether the AI is trained on enough of the messy, real-world edge cases that finance teams deal with every day, and whether the platform around it can operate at enterprise scale.

It's exactly the kind of conversation the Gartner Finance Symposium/Xpo™ was made for. The event brings together CFOs and finance executives to cut through the noise on the priorities that matter most, like AI, cost pressures, risk, and growth. This year's event runs May 27–29 in National Harbor, Maryland, and the conversation around AI in finance has never been more urgent or more grounded in real outcomes.

Medius is proud to be a Platinum sponsor, and we'll be on the Xpo floor at Booth #519. We're also bringing a session we think is worth making time for: a real conversation with a customer who is living the transformation we talk about every day.

What's on the agenda

This year's Symposium addresses the most pressing challenges for finance leaders, featuring an agenda shaped by the CFO community and brought to life with Gartner's data-driven insights. Featured themes include:

AI in finance

Cost optimization

Leadership effectiveness

Growth planning and capital budgeting

ERP finance

These aren't siloed conversations. The way finance teams manage spend, process invoices, and control risk sits at the intersection of almost all of them, which is exactly where Medius operates.

Chief Customer Officer, Medius

QXO is the largest publicly traded distributor of roofing, waterproofing, and complementary building products in North America, and they're moving fast. With a target of $50 billion in annual revenues within the next decade, driven by acquisitions and organic growth, they needed an AP process that could keep pace. Manually, that's impossible. With AI, it's a different story.

Lisa Cooper, Director of Accounting at QXO, joins Medius Chief Customer Officer Jamie Kiser to talk honestly about what that transformation looked like: the challenge, the change, and what's next. If you're a CFO or finance leader thinking about how AI fits into your AP process, this is the session to be in.
