A look ahead as this popular event returns in September

Accountex Summit Manchester will return to Manchester Central on 23 September.
Last year’s event was a huge success, welcoming double the number of attendees than two years previously.
Portfolio director, Caroline Hobden, comments: ‘We love reuniting with our northern community! We’re excited to deliver an even more exciting event with more features, exhibitors and exclusive content.’
'Accountex Summit Manchester is the perfect blend of fun, learning and networking. I loved every minute!'
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet 120+ software and service providers, including big names and first-time exhibitors like My VIP Tax Team, NatWest, Vista Insurance Brokers, Sign Up Software, Citation Cyber and Taxpad.
‘For the past three years, I have attended Accountex, and every year I discover a new software solution to enhance my business. This enables me to save time and increase my capacity to serve more clients,’ comments visitor Mandy Crossley, director/accountant for MC Accounting & Business Solutions.
Meet the ACCA team
ACCA will be on hand at the show, on stand H6, answering questions and providing more information on membership and qualifications.
'Excellent for learning, networking and growing your business – 100% worth the time and effort to go!'
The CPD accredited seminar programme is made up of 60+ industry leading speakers across four theatres. It will be packed with sessions on everything from Making Tax Digital updates from HMRC ahead of the 2026 deadline, to practice growth strategies and AI.
Aranjeet Gill and Steven Armstrong from ACCA will take to the stage to deliver ‘Anti-Money Laundering: The essentials’. The two AML experts will uncover the most common compliance failures and how to avoid them. This insightful session will equip attendees with the knowledge to strengthen their firm’s AML processes, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.
Visitor Rebecca Holloway, associate director at Harold Sharp Limited, comments: ‘If you want to see all the best speakers from the accounting industry, this is the place to be. There is just so much great content all in one day, you can’t afford to miss it.’
'A day at work has never been more fun, inspiring and motivating'
Amid the education programme and exhibitors, there will also be a post-show drinks event for visitors to network and relax after a busy day.
