The Shared Services Conference returned to Dublin, a city that has long been an epicentre of Global Business Services (GBS) and Shared Services activity. In 2025, we embarked on a journey into a new age of GBS. We explored how challenging the status quo and reframing the role of GBS can propel our organisations into a future defined by us.
The conference offered an exclusive platform to connect with the leading minds in GBS, industry and Executive Leadership. Those attending gained invaluable insights into the latest trends, challenges and opportunities that define the future of our industry.Conference themes
