InnovAIT 2025: The Future of the Accountancy Marketplace

The AIT UK Conference brings together IT directors and senior leaders from many of the UK’s top accountancy firms. It offers members a valuable opportunity to connect with firms and suppliers through a dynamic mix of informative presentations, roundtable discussions, and engaging social activities.Now in its fifteenth year, the AIT Conference has earned a reputation as the go-to event for IT professionals in the accounting sector. This year, we focus on The Future of the Accountancy Marketplace, examining the significant transformation underway in the industry. IT Directors face both strategic and operational challenges as firms adapt to evolving technologies, regulatory shifts, and market dynamics.Through panel discussions and roundtable sessions, we will explore the implications of these changes for technology and the ways in which suppliers are supporting firms in navigating this new landscape. Key areas of discussion will include:

  • Tax & Compliance – including Making Tax Digital (MTD)
  • Cybersecurity – safeguarding firms in an increasingly digital world
  • Artificial Intelligence – its growing role in accountancy and automation
  • Data Management – leveraging insights for strategic advantage
  • Private Equity & M&A – understanding investment trends and consolidation
  • Sustainability – integrating ESG considerations into business operations
  • Workforce Management – talent retention and operational efficiency

Join us as we explore the future of accountancy, share insights and strengthen connections within our community. InnovAIT 2025 promises to be an invaluable opportunity to engage with industry leaders, gain fresh perspectives, and shape the technological direction of the sector.
