ACCA Global Virtual Conference 2009

ACCA is proud to lead the way with its innovative Global Virtual Conference: a one-day event taking place simultaneously in London and online. Using the latest virtual event technology, members around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch sessions, join in discussions, talk to exhibitors and network at a virtual conference centre whilst local members join the event in person at the May Fair Hotel in London.
