Ariba Solution Town Halls were introduced at last year's Ariba LIVE and the feedback was to bring them back again for Ariba LIVE 2013! This is your chance to speak your mind in an open forum in which to share your thoughts and input about our solutions and be heard. Ariba Solutions Management will share a brief roadmap and innovation overview, but then the floor is all yours. We value your feedback and look forward to hearing what’s on your mind.
