The FAB stage experience: Crafted to inspire and connect

At the Festival of Accounting and Bookkeeping (FAB), each of our event stages has been designed with purpose, speaking directly to the diverse needs of our audience. This isn’t just another conference — it’s a dynamic experience, blending expertise, interaction, and community spirit into every session.

The four corner stages: Tailored for every professional

Our four corner stages — The Business of Finance Stage, Practice Accelerator Stage, Progressive Firm Stage, and Bookkeepers’ Retreat — are designed with the unique challenges and ambitions of each audience in mind:

• The Business of Finance Stage targets finance leaders who are driving strategic decisions and balancing growth with financial responsibility.
• The Practice Accelerator Stage offers hands-on advice and growth strategies tailored for small practices and ambitious practitioners.
• The Bookkeepers’ Retreat focuses on the skills, tools, and community essential for bookkeepers as they adapt to a changing profession.
• The Progressive Firm Stage is created for forward-thinking firms, and is packed with sessions that explore advanced growth strategies, market positioning, and the integration of new technology.

Each session on these stages is about equipping attendees with actionable insights, featuring interactive panels, expert-led workshops, and collaborative Q&As to keep things relevant and engaging.

Centre stage: Spotlight on universal topics

At the heart of FAB, the Centre Stage is designed for sessions that resonate across the board. Here, attendees can look forward to industry-leading insights from organisations like HMRC and keynote speakers on high-impact topics such as Making Tax Digital (MTD), regulatory changes, and economic updates. These universal discussions are a highlight for all attendees, offering an up-close look at shifts that impact everyone in the field.

More than talks: Interactive workshops and real networking

FAB is built on more than just talks and panels — it’s about interactivity. Attendees can roll up their sleeves and participate in hands-on workshops that tackle the real issues of modern accounting, from digital transformation to navigating complex compliance requirements. Plus, dedicated networking sessions create space to meet like-minded professionals and build relationships that last beyond the event.

The stage layout and session design at FAB create an environment where everyone can find value, make connections, and leave with tools they can actually use. We’ve crafted each space with care, making sure there’s something for everyone — no matter where you are on your professional path.

With workshops, panels, and real networking opportunities, there’s something for everyone. Book your ticket to FAB today to secure your seat at our FAB stages on 12-13 March.
