ACCOUNTEX – flagship show returns to London

23-24 MAY 2018 | ExCeL | LONDON

ACCOUNTEX – the UK’s biggest accountancy exhibition and conference, welcomed 7,021 attendees this year, making this industry-defining event the biggest in the UK for accountancy and finance professionals. With next year’s dates already set for the 23-24 May 2018. ACCOUNTEX at ExCeL London is the ‘must attend’ event for discovering the best new products, tools, solutions and innovations.

Many of the country’s top accountants working in business and industry, banking and financial services, education, and the public sector will once again be packing the aisles checking out the latest new products, services, insights and working solutions on offer from over 200 exhibitors.

Show highlights for 2017 One of the show’s key draws has always been its exceptional conference content, including 180+ CPD accredited Keynotes, seminars, panel sessions, and interactive workshops. Nearly 15% of visitors attended the show on both days – over double the number that did so in 2016. Event organiser Diversified Communications UK estimates (from survey feedback) that close to 90% of visitors took in at least one seminar during their time spent at the show.

Highlights included standingroom only sessions featuring leading industry commenters like Justin Urquhart Stewart (7IM); tax specialist Paul Aplin OBE; Dominic Allon (QuickBooks); Gary Turner (Xero), Alan Laing (Sage UK & Ireland); James Akrigg (Microsoft UK), John Stokdyk (AccountingWEB); Tony Margaritelli (ICPA), Anita Monteith (ICAEW); Richard Wild (CIOT); Steve Checkley (TaxCalc); John Hale (NEST); Mark Purdue (Thomson Reuters); Wendy Rowe (Wolters Kluwer); Mark Wickersham (Cloud Pricing); Mark Lee (BookMarkLee); Steve Pipe (AVN); Ed Molyneux (FreeAgent); and Graeme Brand (Barclays).

Save the date for 2018 Firmly established as the flagship event in the accounting calendar, and enjoying the active support of all the relevant industry associations and training bodies, ACCOUNTEX will return to London ExCeL next year on 23-24 May.
