We all like to party, whether that be at home, a nightclub, or in the dance tent of our favourite festival, but when it comes to work, the two don’t usually mix, right? Well, that’s exactly what the event organisers did for the Digital Accountancy Show 2023 (DAS), and Spotlight Reporting was there to enjoy the show too. And what a show it was.
Mornings with coffee and sunshine
Spotlight Reporting was thrilled to return to the annual Digital Accountancy Show for 2023 at Evolution London in the scenic Battersea Park. The warm British weather had arrived in time, and the Spotlight team was on their way, despite very early starts.
Coffee. The buzzword of the morning. As the team arrived (we won’t mention them getting lost in Battersea Park), coffee was on everyone’s minds as the team prepped ahead of the exciting day. As the team arrived, the show lit up with its electric energy, with catchy dance tunes, LED lights at the main stage, and more ready for the 10 am start.
And the show begins
Right on cue, The Spotlight Reporting team was ready to greet attendees at the stand, and primed close to the main stage to enjoy the action. The team enjoyed a keynote from DAS’s founder, Dan Cockerton, as he officially opened the event.
The morning was great. The Spotlight Reporting team enjoyed speaking to lots of new faces, many of whom had travelled far to attend the nightclub-style event. There were discussions with visitors looking for Reporting, Forecasting, and Consolidations, and they were eager to hear more about Spotlight Reporting. Armed with sample reports and a demo station, the team was keen to invite people to see what Spotlight Reporting has to offer. By midday, the team enjoyed speaking to many, including some of our friendly clients, including Empowered by Cloud.
Time for lunch
After a busy morning, it was time for lunch, and there was an array of food options to choose from. Hosted outside in very festival-like canopies was a seating area and a host of lunch trucks. With food such as pizza to burgers, there was something for everyone, and it gave delegates and exhibitors the opportunity to network, take a break and enjoy some of the British sunshine.
An afternoon roundup
At the Fireside stage, App Advisory Plus’ Co-Founder, Will Farnell hosted a talk around his new book, The Human Firm (you can catch our webinar with Will here), where he sat down to discuss what firms can do to stay human-focused and how they can change their mindset.
As the afternoon went on, the team continued to greet visitors to the stand, demonstrating the power of Spotlight Reporting. Spotlight’s Lou Elliott, Sales Development Representative, met with many keen visitors who were ready to make the next step. The team caught up with friends such as Xero and Karbon and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon’s event.
The end of a vibrant day
As the day shifted, the show came to an end, and after a successful and busy day, the team was ready to head to the famous after-show party happening right outside.
With more food, drinks, and networking on the cards, the team enjoyed a special evening catching up with friends, chatting with colleagues, and enjoying a well-deserved break.
Spotlight Reporting was delighted to attend the Digital Accountancy Show for 2023 and can’t wait for the next big event.
