The North's biggest accountancy event just got bigger
Accountex Summit Manchester is back for its eighth edition.
Taking place on 15 September at Manchester Central, this year's event is set to be the biggest and most exciting to date, bringing together the tools, knowledge and connections that accounting and finance professionals across the North need to stay ahead.
2026 marks a new chapter, with the FD Show joining Accountex Summit Manchester for the very first time – giving finance directors and senior finance leaders from across the North their own dedicated space and theatre.
Here are just some of the reasons this is a must-attend event:
135+ exhibitors on the floor
Including Sage, Xero, FreeAgent, Wolters Kluwer, TaxCalc, Bright, Intuit Quickbooks, IRIS and Dext, alongside up-and-coming brands like Link My Books, Finquery, Moss and Advantage. Attendees will have everything they need to evaluate, compare and invest in solutions which will future-proof their practice or business.
A packed seminar programme
The free CPD-accredited seminar programme, delivered across four theatres and a Showcase Stage, tackles the issues defining the profession – from AI adoption and practice growth to leadership. It's built for professionals who are serious about staying current and moving forward.
A dedicated FD Show experience
With its own dedicated theatre, exhibitors and space, the FD Show will give finance directors and senior finance professionals a tailored experience, including a free CPD-accredited seminar programme packed with practical insight.
