The upcoming event aims to build on the success of the 2023 show, celebrated as the largest in Accountex history.

295 software and service suppliers will be exhibiting, alongside a comprehensive CPD accredited education programme, to help visitors stay up to date with the evolving landscape of the profession.  

“As always, we’re excited to welcome the accounting and finance community through the Accountex doors. We understand more than ever that attendees are using their valuable time away from their desks to attend the show, so we have to continue making it worth it. We are prioritising fresh content, especially sessions that focus on practical application, so attendees can start using these insights as soon as they return to their desks.  

We also have our most diverse exhibitor list yet, with a mix of established software providers and start-ups.” said Accountex Portfolio Director, Caroline Hobden.  

Attendees will have the opportunity to reconnect with current suppliers, get updated on new products, and explore new exhibitors to enhance business efficiency and reduce costs. Notable industry giants such as FreeAgent, Intuit QuickBooks, IRIS, Sage, TaxCalc, Wolters Kluwer, and Xero will be exhibiting, alongside emerging brands like NORI HR, Signature Group, and Sovos.

The education program offers up to 16 free CPD hours across 13 theatres and 250+ sessions. Seminars will be given by thought leaders, critical thinkers, and experts covering a range of topics from AI and AML to branding and Companies House Reform.

The event also promises plenty of networking opportunities, including the Bookkeepers Basecamp, Content Creation Clinic, and after-show parties.

Familiar features from previous years, such as the Start-up zone will return, with the addition of a new Quiet Zone. Geared towards those needing a break from overstimulation, this area allows visitors to recharge in silence, supported by the Watch This Sp_ce team, Accountex's official D, E, and I partner.

Accountex continues its partnership with Mental Health UK as the official charity partner for the second year, reflecting the ongoing commitment to mental health and wellbeing.

After the success at Accountex Summit Manchester, the Ask the Accountants Podcast team, Johann Goree and Aaron Patrick, will be hosting a Podcast Pitstop. Over the two days, they will be interviewing experts and leaders on their show takeaways and industry insights.

The 'Trees for Attendees' initiative, in collaboration with Carma, will also make a return, with a pledge to plant a tree for every attendee, to offset carbon emissions.
