The world of accounting is undergoing rapid change. Advancing digitalization and automation, driven by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), are revolutionizing our ways of working. But that's not all. The increasing importance of cybersecurity, European standards for sustainability reporting (ESRS), and ESG present us with new challenges. However, they also offer significant opportunities. Real-time reporting enables informed decision-making, and the integration of sustainability criteria helps us create long-term value and minimize risks. To meet these important changes, we must continuously adapt and evolve our practices and standards.
The Accounting Summit is the premier trade fair and conference to discuss these critical issues with top-notch speakers, experts, and innovators, to stay informed about current trends, exchange best practices, and actively shape the future of the accounting industry.
Taking place on September 3rd and 4th in Düsseldorf.

The Accounting Summit is a format that is now three years young and, in my opinion, has "polished up" accounting and created the right mix and acceptance with experts, well-known companies and innovative start-ups. It brings together decision-makers who all have a digital agenda and can benefit from each other. And all of this with high-quality networking, an open exchange and a relaxed atmosphere.

A very successful and fresh format. For us, the Accounting Summit was very rewarding and inspiring. Anyone looking for a platform for innovative accounting & controlling solutions should not miss it.

The trade fair offered a wealth of information and insights into current trends in the finance sector. It was extremely helpful to recognize potential need for action for the future at an early stage and at the same time to find solutions for current everyday problems. The opportunity to exchange ideas with other participants who have similar challenges to ours was particularly positive. The exchange of experiences and best practices was extremely valuable and helped to reveal new perspectives. From start-ups to corporates, all sizes were represented, which provided different perspectives and guidance. I am already looking forward to future editions of the fair.

The Accounting Summit was an impressive event! It was not only an opportunity for us to make valuable contacts, but also a platform to share ideas on the topic of digitalization in accounting & finance. I was particularly pleased to have the opportunity to present my experiences as part of a masterclass. A great experience that I'm already looking forward to again next year!

The Accounting Summit is now an established meeting place for intensive and good discussions as well as exciting presentations on all aspects of accounting. Last but not least, it is the many new contacts that make this event so interesting.

Last year, we were the first major consulting firm to be represented at the Accounting Summit with a stand and a masterclass. An event that is second to none: Fresh format, very good talks, interesting presentations and panel discussions as well as uncomplicated and highly professional event management. An event that very clearly addresses topics in the CFO agenda, with a strong focus on digitalization. We at Mazars are very pleased that we will be there again this year with colleagues from various service lines (Consulting, Accounting Outsourcing Services, Tax) and, of course, especially for the joint MasterClass with Nexperia, in which we describe the path to the first sustainability report from practice.

It is an essential meeting for our team, where we not only see familiar faces again, but also make new contacts and gain fresh impetus. The Summit's dynamic atmosphere captures the latest moods, opinions and trends in our industry and brings them directly and vividly to us. The masterclasses are a particular gem - they are gold mines of practical wisdom that provide participants with valuable, immediately applicable knowledge. The Accounting Summit is more than just a conference; it is a source of inspiration and a platform for innovation that enriches and motivates our team year after year.
