# yield take on Xerocon 2018
## 11 Sep yield take on Xerocon 2018
Posted at Sep 11, 2018 7:00:27 PM in articles by yield advisory
Last week the yield team attended the [2018 Xerocon](https://www.xero.com/au/events/xerocon/brisbane/) here in Brisbane. With just over 3700 delegates, 40+ speakers and 2 days let’s just say there was a lot to see and do. The event was even trending on Twitter!
Xero’s CEO [Steve Vamos](https://au.linkedin.com/in/stevevamos) opened day one with his vision on what’s next for Xero. From “beautiful accounting software” to “beautiful business”. Xero plans to transition from just a cloud accounting software to a small business platform.
The new features announced by [Herman Man](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hermanjman), Vice President of Product and Alliances all worked towards a common goal which was “keeping accounting simple and accurate for business owners”.
The announcement included:
1. **Email-to-bills**: The feature will automatically populate details into Xero from an emailed invoice such as supplier, amount, reference, and due date;
2. **Hubdoc**: Xero has acquired a Hubdoc that streamlines administrative tasks such as financial document collection, data entry and document management;
3. **Bank Feeds**: Global API that will allow FinTech or other financial institutes to sync their bank feeds into Xero;
4. **Bank Payments**: A new API allowing payments to be triggered from within Xero;
5. **Invoicing**: The module has been rebuilt applying machine learning technology to populate reoccurring entries and thus simplifying the process;
6. **Xero app marketplace**: Curated app recommendations for clients;
7. **Lodgements**: Activity statements can now be lodged directly to the ATO from Xero;
8. **Xero Learn**: A program that will give students access to the software through tertiary courses preparing them for the real world.
