Lumenia ERP HEADtoHEAD™, the UK’s leading ERP comparison event, comes to Birmingham this March

Event News

Lumenia Consulting announces the return of its flagship ERP HEADtoHEAD™ event, taking place on 24th-25th March 2026 at The Eastside Rooms, Birmingham.

Now in its 11th year, this unique event offers organisations planning an ERP upgrade or replacement the opportunity to compare 13 leading ERP solutions from vendors side-by-side in a structured, like-for-like comparison.

The two-day event will feature 28 live product demonstrations based on defined scenarios, not generic sales pitches, covering critical business processes including: finance, production, procurement, supply chain management, sales opportunity to quote, sales orders & pricing, project-based operations, business intelligence & analytics, and more.

Independent keynote presentations from ERP experts will address essential topics including ERP readiness and digital transformation. Two panel discussions will provide thought leadership and real-world advice:

  • How AI is transforming the ERP industry (Day 1)
  • Avoiding ERP implementation mistakes (Day 2)

Day 2 also includes vendor showcase sessions, where leading providers such as Infor, Mysoft, and Sage share insights on ERP evolution and future trends.

This year’s event is fully subscribed from a sponsorship perspective, with five Gold, nine Silver ERP vendor sponsors and six Bronze sponsors, all solution providers that complement ERP products. Throughout the event, delegates can take advantage of networking breaks and an evening drinks reception, creating opportunities with peers, vendors, and industry experts.

Why this matters

ERP projects are among the most complex and high-risk initiatives for any organisation. Choosing the wrong solution can lead to costly delays and missed objectives. Lumenia’s HEADtoHEAD™ event helps business mitigate these risks by providing an independent, structured comparison of leading ERP systems, alongside expert insights on best practices and pitfalls to avoid.

Ian O’Toole, Managing Partner at Lumenia Consulting, said, “ERP selection is one of the most critical decisions an organisation can make, and this year’s ERP HEADtoHEAD™ delivers an unparalleled opportunity for ERP buyers to survey the market and learn from experts. Over two days, delegates will see 13 leading ERP systems demonstrated side-by-side, based on real business scenarios. Combined with expert-led sessions, and the chance to network with peers and vendors, this year’s event is designed to give decision-makers the insight and confidence they need to succeed.”
