Accountex London 2023 returns with exciting new features and a commitment to sustainability and mental health
Accountex London is back at ExCeL on the 10-11 May 2023. With more exhibitors, feature areas and theatres than ever, Accountex London is set to be the biggest and best show yet. Over two days, 8,000-plus accountants, in-house finance professionals and bookkeepers from all over the world will be returning to the capital for the free annual event. More than 250 top fintech companies will be giving software demos and there will be a diverse CPD accredited education programme to explore.
To help visitors navigate the vast show floor, the new Accountex app will be available to download for free. It will give users a full view of what’s on offer, including the exhibitor list and education programme, and lets people plan their day using the app’s planning tool.
New additions to the show include the Bookkeeper’s Base Camp, a space for bookkeepers to network, meet with their peers and relax. The Fintech and Innovation Showcase is a new theatre that will give quick fire overviews of the products and technology at the event. Each 10-minute session will cover a different product to help visitors to decide which exhibitors they should meet.
To celebrate the King’s coronation, the Networking Bus, a vintage red double-decker, will offer opportunities for networking, free Pimms and, of course, ice cream – a British garden party at Accountex!
Part of Accountex’s commitment to sustainability is for a tree to be planted on behalf of each visitor to the show. By teaming up with Carma, Accountex are working towards mitigating their carbon footprint, whilst supporting local communities across the world. One month after the conference, Carma will plant the trees in collaboration with the Eden Reforestation Projects. Through these projects, essential jobs are created to provide long-term support to the economy and the restoration of local environments.
A big theme for this year’s show is mental health. Accountex London are excited to announce that Mental Health UK are their official charity partner for the 2023 event. The partnership will allow visitors to speak to the Mental Health UK team in person and find the right support.
Mental Health UK provide support and services for some of the biggest societal challenges that pose a threat to people’s mental health, including money problems, loneliness and resilience in young people.
“We’re thrilled to have partnered with Mental Health UK for Accountex London. With the costof-living crisis and recession affecting everyone, it’s more important than ever that we look after our mental health,” said Portfolio Director Caroline Hobden. “Accountex will be a safe space for people to gain insight and find the right resources to support themselves, their loved ones, and their colleagues.”
