The atmosphere was filled with energy as business leaders, developers, and partners gathered to witness the future of ERP.
Day 1 set the tone with the official launch of Odoo 19, a version designed to transform how businesses operate. It combines speed, simplicity, and artificial intelligence to streamline every business function. From finance to HR, eCommerce to customer support, AI is no longer an optional tool but the foundation of the system.
It was clear from the first keynote that Odoo Experience 2025 is not only about showcasing software features. It is about shaping the future of business operations and helping companies scale with confidence in an AI-driven world.
Odoo Experience is the annual global event hosted in Brussels that brings together business leaders, ERP experts, developers, and technology enthusiasts. Across three days, participants explore product launches, attend keynotes, join training sessions, and connect with industry peers. For businesses, it is an opportunity to see how Odoo adapts to their specific needs and how it supports long-term digital transformation.
