Accountex Summit Manchester is back for the eighth edition.
Taking place on 15 September 2026 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 an exciting new chapter for the event, with the FD Show joining Accountex Summit Manchester for the very first time.
Portfolio Director Caroline Hobden said: “This is a landmark moment for Accountex Summit Manchester. Not only are we bringing together the biggest and best line-up of exhibitors and speakers we’ve ever had in Manchester, but for the very first time, the FD Show is joining us. That means finance directors and senior finance leaders from across the North will have their own dedicated space and programme, sitting right at the heart of the event.”
