The Importance of In-Person Business Events in 2025

Posted on by fortis2025

According to current industry trends, in-person events are making a major comeback. 86.4% of organizers aim to maintain or boost the number of in-person events in 2025 compared to 2024. Additionally, 52.1% of organizers have seen a rise in attendance over the past year. This resurgence reflects the growing demand for face-to-face collaboration, networking opportunities, and immersive brand experiences that virtual events often struggle to replicate. 

Businesses are planning to allocate a significant amount more for in-person events in 2025 compared to 2024. According to recent studies, 53.2% of organizers state that they expect their budgets to grow in 2025 compared to 2024. This increase highlights a strong commitment to face-to-face interactions, signaling a shift back to traditional networking and engagement strategies. 

What does that mean for you? If you’re not out there building relationships, others will be. Your competitors will be the ones making connections, nurturing leads, and closing deals. Being at in-person events is not just a social call, but a strategic move to ensure your position in potential partnerships, deals, and critical conversations. These events are where decisions are made, opportunities arise, and lasting impressions are formed. If you’re sitting out, you’re missing the opportunity to build valuable relationships and grow your business, while your competitor is potentially taking your spot. 

In-Person Options  

While sponsoring and exhibiting at events can provide significant value for your company, there is also equally great value in other types of in-person opportunities.  

  • Attend-Walk 

Walking the show floor, engaging in conversations, and/or participating in sessions allows you to personally make connections that can build your network. These in-person interactions are often more personal and memorable than connecting online or over the phone. Additionally, taking your best partners or clients out for dinner and nurturing those relationships can create meaningful moments to strengthen those bonds.  

  • After Hours   

Hosting an after-event party or after-hours dinner can be a powerful way to leave a lasting impression on partners, clients, and prospects. Collaborating with a partner to co-host the event can help share costs and expand your reach, exposing your brand to a wider network of prospects. This strategic approach allows you to maximize your presence by nurturing current relationships while simultaneously creating opportunities to build new ones in an authentic and memorable way.

The Benefits of Choosing an Embedded Payment Processor in NetSuite 

Posted on by fortis2025

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, payment processing isn’t just a back-office function—it’s a critical part of delivering seamless experiences. For NetSuite users, the decision to opt for an embedded payment processor can transform financial workflows, improving everything from operational efficiency to customer satisfaction.

Core Benefits of Embedded Payment Processing 

Embedded payment processing within NetSuite provides a foundation of core benefits that make daily financial operations more effective. By keeping payment processes within the NetSuite ecosystem, businesses experience six key advantages:

  1. Efficiency
    By eliminating the need to toggle between multiple systems, this solution saves time, reduces errors, and improves operational efficiency. Keep all accounts receivable (AR) data in your NetSuite dashboard. 
  2. Cost savings
    By keeping sensitive financial data within the highly secure NetSuite environment, you minimize the resources required to stay compliant, saving both time and money. 
  3. Improved customer satisfaction
    An integrated processor streamlines operations with automated bill capture, approval, and payment reconciliation, reducing delays and errors associated with manual processes. This ensures faster service and enhances customer satisfaction. 
  4. Faster cash flow
    When payments are processed within the same system as your accounting and ERP, cash flow improves significantly. NetSuite’s payment solutions speed up payment processing times, getting funds into your account faster and helping you maintain a steady cash flow. 
  5. Increased control
    Embedded solutions provide greater visibility and control over every transaction. You have access to detailed transaction data directly within NetSuite, empowering your team to make data-driven decisions that support long-term growth. 
  6. Improved profitability
    With NetSuite AP Automation, embedded payment solutions allow businesses to process bills and pay vendors faster and more efficiently. By optimizing these back-office processes, businesses can reduce overhead and boost profitability.
