We are immensely proud to have played a pivotal role in orchestrating the Digital Accountancy Show (DAS) 2024, marking our fourth consecutive year of partnership. This year's event was not only the largest in its history but also a testament to the evolution and growth of the conference, which featured an unprecedented two-day format and a remarkable 61% increase in attendee registrations.
Hosted at the spacious and modern Evolution London, this year's DAS welcomed nearly 160 exhibitors and over 3,000 accountants, making it the epicenter of innovation and networking in the accountancy sector. The event showcased an impressive lineup of 100 industry-leading speakers, providing invaluable insights and forward-thinking strategies tailored for accountants and bookkeepers.
Our collaboration with the DAS team extended over 10 months of meticulous planning and coordination, beginning right after the previous show concluded. This long-term strategic partnership enabled us to thoroughly understand and align with the DAS's vision and objectives, ensuring every aspect of the event was tailored for success.
Our responsibilities were extensive and integral to the smooth operation of the event. We managed venue logistics to accommodate the increased scale of the event, ensuring that all spatial and technical needs for exhibitors and speakers were met with precision. This involved intricate floor planning and the orchestration of complex build-outs for exhibitor stands, which were designed to foster engagement and showcase technological advancements in accountancy.
We also took charge of liaising with exhibitors, from initial coordination to final implementation, ensuring that each exhibitor had the necessary support and resources to maximize their presence at the event. Our team handled all on-site activations, which included interactive displays and live demonstrations that enriched the attendee experience.
Additionally, our role encompassed coordinating asset collection and distribution, a critical task that ensured all materials, from promotional items to technological equipment, were systematically managed and delivered to the right locations at the right times.
Overseeing the on-site staff was another crucial aspect of our management duties. We ensured that each team member was fully briefed and equipped to handle the complexities of the event, from security to customer service, thereby maintaining a high standard of professionalism and efficiency throughout the two days.
