Not your typical accounting conference.
Connect with brilliant bookkeepers and industry thought leaders to uncover tactical advice and proven strategies for your bookkeeping career.
Join us online for two days of TED-style talks, live panel discussions, speed networking, social gatherings, competitions, technology exhibitors, and a whole lot of mind-blowing, life-affirming fun.
Now in its 11th year, the Bookkeepers Summit is the only large-scale event dedicated to bookkeepers, and it's going completely virtual. Hosted by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers and supported by the major names in accounting software and fintech, this event offers charismatic speakers, actionable insights, and unparalleled possibility. Join our buzzing private social network to experience a welcome like no other, to share stories, tips, and tactics. We have extra sessions for you to attend if you're thinking of starting a bookkeeping business, have just been made redundant, or want to become a Certified Bookkeeper after studying with AAT.

and global bookkeeping thought leaders.

SESSIONS
Our sessions go live on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 November, but throughout the whole week from Monday to Friday we're celebrating Global Bookkeeping Week and giving you five days of access to our dedicated virtual event platform and private social network to bring life back to virtual events.
This is not a webinar. This is not an accounting conference. This is the warmest, most connected, community of brilliant bookkeepers coming together to share their love of bookkeeping and consume targeted content to help them be the best they can be.

NETWORKING
So many bookkeepers together at last! After a challenging year, don't let anything stop you from getting upfront and social with your peers. Set up your event profile and tell us what you're interested in, and our virtual event platform will recommend similar bookkeepers for you to chat with or meet face-to-face in a video call.
You can take a seat in our virtual lounge to meet new people, or post an update in the event social feed. It's just like Facebook but better. If you're feeling shy rest assured you'll never have to share your video unless you want to, and you can even hide your profile from the attendee list and switch off the chat feature.
You can enjoy this year's Bookkeepers Summit on your own terms, from the comfort of your own computer, tablet or smartphone. We can't wait for you to join us to learn, mingle and have fun; to share the joy of bookkeeping no matter what stage of the journey you’re at.
If you’re facing a challenge or dreaming big, there’s a bookkeeper here to help you get there!
Hear from industry experts
and global bookkeeping thought leaders.
