Welcome to FAB 2026

The Finance, Accounting and Bookkeeping Show (FAB) is built for senior decision makers, it isn’t another accounting event built around browsing and buzzwords.
This is where growth decisions get clarified, options are pressure-tested, and the next moves for your firm or finance function take shape.

Across two focused days, FAB brings together a genuinely decision-ready audience shaped by year-round engagement. Attendees arrive with real priorities already in motion — from investment and technology decisions to margin improvement, scale and succession — and use FAB to move them forward with confidence.

FAB exists to save time, not fill diaries. The outcome isn’t inspiration. It’s direction. You leave knowing what to do next, why it matters, and how to act.

New for 2026: VIP Connected Buyer Meetings and Boardroom Debates, designed to move high-value conversations forward. Alongside these, AccountingWEB AI Labs with Sage and the Cottons Advisory sessions create practical environments to test ideas, challenge assumptions and make better decisions, faster.

Join 6,000+ senior finance, accounting and bookkeeping professionals shaping the future of the sector.
Attendance is free, but capacity is limited — last year’s event reached full capacity.

FAB: where growth-focused finance leaders come to make decisions.
