Meet the AAT team

The AAT will be on hand at the show, on stand K17. Their team will be answering questions and providing more information on their association, community and opportunities.

‘The quality of the speakers is exceptional. It’s a ‘can’t miss event’’

The CPD accredited seminar programme boasts 60+ industry-leading speakers, covering a wide range of topics and industry trends. Themes include AI, tax, branding, cyber security, Companies House Reform, crypto, employee engagement, AML and more. With sessions held across four theatres, attendees will gain access to thought leaders and experts shaping the future of the profession.

Thanks to Accountex’s official Accessibility Partner AAT, BSL interpreters will be present at all 4 theatres at the show for the majority of sessions.

Visitor Rebecca Holloway, Associate Director at Harold Sharp Limited commented, “If you want to see all the best speakers from the accounting industry, this is the place to be. There is just so much great content all in one day, you can’t afford to miss it.”

AAT will be running the session: ‘The Gen Z approach to innovating your practice’. Panel host Grace Hardy started her accounting practice ‘Hardy Accounting’ at 21 years old after gaining her qualification during her apprenticeship.
