Every year, the ICB Bookkeepers Summit brings together the brightest minds and boldest voices in the world of bookkeeping. This year, we’d love for you to be one of them.
Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or stepping up for the first time, this is your moment to share your story and inspire a vibrant community of professionals who are passionate about what they do.
Save the Dates
The 2025 ICB Bookkeepers Summit is a three-part celebration of learning, connection, and innovation:
- In-person Summit: Monday, 17 November at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster, London
- Virtual Tech Day: Wednesday, 19 November - a deep dive into the latest tools and tech
- Full Virtual Summit: Thursday, 20 November - a dynamic day of keynotes, breakout sessions, and community engagement
Each day features a unique lineup of speakers, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Why Speak at the Summit
This isn’t your average industry event. The ICB Bookkeepers Summit is the UK’s only national conference dedicated solely to bookkeepers, and it’s designed to be as engaging as it is educational.
- We begin the day together, then split into two tracks so attendees can tailor their experience
- Our virtual platform is built for interaction, with sessions available on demand for three months
- You’ll be speaking to an audience that’s eager to learn, grow, and be inspired
Who Will You Be Speaking To
Over 800 bookkeepers join us each year during Global Bookkeeping Week - a mix of ICB members and non-members alike. They are:
- Mostly small business owners and sole traders (65 percent), many with 35 or more clients
- Agile, entrepreneurial, and deeply connected to the businesses they serve
- Predominantly women (78 percent), with over half running their practices part-time
They’re looking for practical insights, fresh ideas, and inspiration - not sales pitches. Think: tech trends, legislative updates, business growth strategies, and real-world stories that resonate.
What Makes a Great Session
Our attendees are:
- Tech-savvy and forward-thinking
- Hungry for tools and techniques that make their work more efficient
- Curious about what’s next in tax, payroll, and business trends
- Looking for content that is original, relevant, and actionable
If you’ve got a story, strategy, or solution that can help them thrive, we want to hear from you.
Who Can Apply
Absolutely anyone. Whether you’re a:
- Bookkeeper, accountant, or consultant
- Farmer, fisherman, or philanthropist
- Chef, coder, or creative
If you’ve got something valuable to share, we’re listening.
You can even team up with a colleague or fellow bookkeeper for a joint session. And if you’re new to speaking, we can help you find coaching and support. Not sure if your idea fits? Reach out to Elizabeth Carter for a chat.
