Co-located with Accountex London, the first FD Show is taking place at Excel London on the 13-14 May 2026.

This new trade exhibition is dedicated to accountants in industry, and built for finance leaders, including Finance Directors and CFOs. It will feature expert insights, practical solutions, and live sessions to help professionals stay ahead, connect with peers, and drive strategic impact. 

“We’re thrilled to launch the FD Show, which will fill a gap in the market for finance leaders to connect, learn and discover the solutions that will drive their businesses forward.  

With the increasing strategic importance of the finance function, proffessionals need more than just accounting tools – they need a platform that addresses their unique challenges as business leaders. 

The FD Show delivers exactly that, bringing together leading suppliers, practical case studies from major brands, and invaluable peer networking opportunities.  

Whether you’re looking to solve immediate operational challenges or shape long-term strategy, this is the event that will help you stay ahead” Said Portfolio Director, Caroline Hobden. 

The exhibition will feature 40+ key suppliers offering enterprise solutions, alongside a range software and services catered to finance professionals. Exhibitors include Wolters Kluwer, Workday, Scale XP, Crowe UK LLP, Octopus, Docuware and Corepay.

The free CPD accredited seminar programme will be held across two theatres.  There will also be a Case Study Stage, that will offer invaluable training opportunities and insight into industry developments. It will provide practical solutions to the challenges that c-suite finance professionals face daily. 

Alongside the range of exhibitors and packed seminar programme, there will be countless networking opportunities to make new connections and catch up with the community.

“I debated whether to take a full day out of the office to attend Accountex London, but I’m so glad I did. I came away feeling energised and inspired after soaking up so much knowledge. With a packed agenda of expert-led, relevant and future-focused seminars, I was truly spoilt for choice!
