We take a look at which events this year are the best for bookkeepers.
Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping
13 – 14 March NEC, Birmingham
The year kicks off with a new event from the team behind AccountingWEB. Billed as “Two days of thought, tech and transformation” this event will have a dedicated area for bookkeepers (featuring ICB!) along with workshops, talks and plenty of networking. Event organisers are promising something different "It’s a get together, a festival. Not an ‘event’”.
The bookkeeping focus isn’t just lip service either, with many of the Bookkeeping glitterati already signed up to speak including ICB CEO Ami Copeland, the 6 Figure Bookkeeping Team, Rebecca Williams MICB and Penelope Allard FICB ACM PM.Dip.

Digital Accountancy Show
16 – 17 April 2024, London
DAS is back and bigger than ever. This year it's upgraded to a two-day event and moved to Evolution London, in Battersea. With eight stages – including the tech academy, the evolution theatre and a how-to hub - it’s an event with plenty to offer progressive bookkeepers. “We're set on bringing accounting pros together; not only those who have 'been there and done that' but are 'going there and doing that'. Future-minded individuals with not only a story to tell, but a plan to share as the industry continues to be shaped and reshaped by revolutions within AI, automation, sustainability, and recruitment.”
The ICB team will be there and look forward to connecting with bookkeepers.

Accountex
15 – 16 May London
The original event for the accountancy profession has always attracted bookkeepers too, and remains the largest event on the circuit. It’s a great place to meet up with colleagues, suppliers and like-minded bookkeepers. ICB will be hosting the bookkeepers' theatre and will be sharing bookkeeper stories, industry insight and relevant legislative updates. It’s also the place to form new relationships and business opportunities. As always, we are looking forward to making the case on why good bookkeeping is essential for any accountancy practice.
Accountex Summit North
17 September 2024
The first event back after summer has a very different feel from its southern counterpart. There is the same great mix of speakers, suppliers and stands – but it’s on a smaller scale and contained in just one day, so it feels more manageable. It’s always a favourite for bookkeepers, and the ICB team will be on hand to meet and greet members and industry colleagues.
The ICB Inspire Tour Roadshows
Summer 2024
Following the huge success of the hybrid Bookkeepers Summit in 2023, we’re taking the format on tour. Bookkeepers can expect practical and impactful advice on how to be the best bookkeeper they can be. As well as updates from the ICB team, bookkeepers should attend to take part in a range of practical workshops on AML, Marketing, Payroll, Managing Workflow and Tax. There will also be dedicated time for networking with your fellow ICB members – and the ICB team! Each of the six regional events will be complemented by the virtual summit, designed to educate, motivate and inspire.
Monday 17 June – Edinburgh
Wednesday 3 July – Leeds
Thursday 4 July – Birmingham
Monday 8 July – Bristol
Wednesday 10 July – Peterborough
