Easyfairs, one of Europe's leading event organizers and the world's 11th largest, has announced the strategic acquisition of Digital Accountancy Show, a leading technology event for accounting and finance professionals. This is the second acquisition made by the organizer since Inflexion 's investment in 2024 (the first was the purchase of UK Metals Expo last December). This operation is fully in line with the Belgian company's strategy of accelerated growth, aimed at strengthening its presence in high-potential niche markets. For Easyfairs, the integration of the Digital Accountancy Show is excellent news: integration of a fast-growing event, targeting a sector in the throes of digital transformation, driven by the massive adoption of new technologies and artificial intelligence in the accountancy professions. The event, launched in London in 2020, attracted over 5,000 visitors and 150 exhibitors on April 1 and 2, with expert content, networking and demonstrations of digital solutions.

This acquisition will enable Digital Accountancy Show to benefit from Easyfairs' technological ecosystem and pan-European network to accelerate its development, particularly internationally. "I am absolutely delighted to announce that the Digital Accountancy Show has received investment from one of the world's leading event organizers," said James Howell, co-founder of the Digital Accountancy Show. "Easyfairs cultivates a remarkable corporate culture, based on strong, shared values - putting people at the heart of its priorities and creating a real sense of community within the markets it supports, which is extremely important to us."

The Digital Accountancy Show, created by Dan Cockerton and James Howell, has rapidly become a must-attend event for accountants, firms and fintechs. For its part, Easyfairs is a key player in the events industry, present in 14 countries, with over 200 events organized per year and sales of 229 million euros for the year 2023-2024 (up 20% year-on-year). The group, based in Belgium, employs more than 800 people, and now benefits fromInflexion 's financial and strategic support to pursue its dynamic of targeted acquisitions and consolidate its position in Europe.
