The Xero Roadshow – Tiny Edition is coming to you

JO CURRIE

Xero has built a tiny portable home that will spend the next five months travelling up, down and across Aotearoa to connect with 28 local communities.

After a two-year hiatus, Xero is excited to be able to hit the road once again to reconnect and engage with communities around the country. This year, the roadshow is just a tiny bit different.

Working with Xero customer, ‘Little Big Tiny House’, Xero has built a tiny portable home that will spend the next five months travelling up, down and across Aotearoa to connect with 28 local communities. NZ Marketing Director Bridget Snelling explains what makes this year’s event unique.

“Xero is the most commonly used accounting software in Aotearoa – we have customers in every region and town,” she says. “Given we haven’t been able to get out and see our customers so easily over the past two years, we decided to hit the road in a different way this year which will help us get to as many smaller towns as possible.”

Snelling says that Xero looked into a number of mobile options before landing on a tiny house.

“We’re really excited to be able to take our tiny house around the country and park up in town centres, where our customers and those interested in learning more about Xero can pop in and visit us, and we can learn a bit more about them and their communities too”

Which towns is the Xero Roadshow – Tiny Edition coming to?

To see the full list of towns and dates for the Xero Roadshow – Tiny Edition, have a look at the schedule on the Xero website xero.com/roadshow. You’ll also be able to read more info about the education sessions that will be available in each region.

Don’t see your town on the list? Don’t worry – the tiny home might be coming to you in the future, says Snelling.

“Of course we can’t visit every town in Aotearoa over only five months – however, we intend for this new style of Roadshow to be our approach for the next few years, so we’ll get to towns next year that we couldn’t visit this year.”
