Why it matters

FAB is the Finance, Accounting and Bookkeeping Show powered by AccountingWEB, a free two-day exhibition and conference that has run at the NEC Birmingham each March since 2024 and drew 6,000+ expected finance peers in 2026. Unlike ticketed rivals it charges nothing to attend, and its floor of over 100 exhibitors is curated around the AccountingWEB community of practice owners and finance leaders. Visitors get over 40 hours of CPD content across stages for CFOs, small firms, mid-tier firms and bookkeepers.

Who attends

Practice owners and partners, finance directors and CFOs, and bookkeepers, largely from UK firms and finance teams; the organiser describes the audience as senior finance, accounting and bookkeeping leaders who are ready to make decisions.
