How do I get to Accountex London?
The ExCel London is the capital’s gigantic convention and events venue located about 8 miles east of central London.
Whether you are coming from a plane, train, automobile or even cable car, there is a way to get to Accountex. You can find all the detailed directions you’ll need here.
The Jubilee Line and DLR are the quickest routes to the ExCel. There are two DLR stations that are a two-minute’s walk to the ExCel centre - Custom House and Prince Regent.
Alternatively, the ExCel is about a 20 minute walk from the Canning Town underground Station.
What should I know before I go?
First, amazingly, this is one thing that is free in London! All you need to do is pre-register here.
Next, there is a great line-up of speakers and events that will not only inspire you, but will also fulfil your CPD hours. So, check out the full programme here and mark off your calendar to make sure you don’t miss the sessions you are most interested in.
Tip: The conference centre can seem large and sometimes confusing to get around so make sure you know where each theatre is in plenty of time for the sessions you want to attend.
Who is exhibiting?
Accountex is expecting over 250 brands to exhibit this year. This means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet & greet with the best-known in the business as well as the newest, most groundbreaking brands.
Tip: Exhibitors can get very busy during the day so if you know there is someone in particular you want to meet with, reach out and book a time with them. You can book a time with Timworks here. We’ll be at booth 1000B.
