The Day 1 after partyFree to attend · bring the whole team
When Day 1 wraps, don't head for the DLR. Head downstairs for live music, DJs and street food on Royal Victoria Dock. Enjoy relaxed chats with friends and peers in the profession over a few drinks.
One room, one level below the show floor, with a few hundred people who do what you do. A free bar tab to open it, live music through the middle, DJs to finish, and plenty of time to catch up with friends and peers from the show.
Scenes from previous DAS After Shows
The After Show is free because these brands are paying for it. They'll all be in the room on the night — find them, say hello, and have a proper conversation about what they're building.
One night, one venue, no travel. Here's the whole thing in five lines — then register yourself and your team at the bottom of the page.
DAS gives you the sessions, the show floor and the ideas. The After Show keeps the day going: a relaxed evening downstairs to catch up with friends and peers in the profession over a drink.
Day 1 closes · everyone comes downstairs
The Waterfront is inside ExCeL, one level below the show floor. The walk from your last session to your first drink is about sixty seconds. No taxi, no tube, no getting lost in Docklands.
Firm owners, partners, finance leaders and the people building the tools they use, all together in one relaxed space at the end of Day 1.
Live music from 6:30, DJs from 8, a street-food kitchen running all evening and a free bar tab to get things going.
Register once and add every colleague who's at the show. They each get their own email to confirm, so nobody turns up without a name on the list.
Five hours, built so you can arrive when your day ends and stay as long as you like. There's no seated dinner to be late for and no speeches to sit through.
Day 1 wraps upstairs. Come straight down — drinks are on our partners until the tab runs out, and the street-food kitchen is already going.
The room fills up and the volume comes up. Best hour for finding the people you missed on the floor.
Second wave arrives as the early crowd settles in. Longer, looser conversations start about here.
Home, or on somewhere. Either way you're back upstairs at 9am for Day 2 — it's a short walk.
A relaxed space right inside ExCeL. Full bar, street-food kitchen, booths, lounge seating and a terrace looking out over Royal Victoria Dock, one level below the show floor.
The bar

On the dock
Doors at 5pmIf you're at the show, you're already in the building. If you're joining us later, ExCeL is about fifteen minutes from Canary Wharf and twenty-five from the City.
Leave your last session, follow the signs for the Waterfront and take the escalators or lift down one level to the dock side of ExCeL.
It's roughly a sixty-second walk from the middle of the show floor. Our team will be on the door from 5pm.
Elizabeth line and DLR both stop at Custom House for ExCeL — it's directly outside the west entrance.
Coming from the east end of the venue, Prince Regent (DLR) is the closer stop. Both are a few minutes' walk from the Waterfront.
Use postcode E16 1XL. The multi-storey car parks sit either side of the venue and are signposted from the A1020 and A13.
Charges apply and spaces go quickly on show days — if you're only coming for the evening, the Elizabeth line is quicker.
Set your drop-off to ExCeL London, Western Gateway, E16 1XL and come in through the main west entrance, then head down to the Waterfront.
Santander Cycles docks and taxi ranks sit outside both the west and east entrances.
That's the capacity of the venue, and entry on the night is first come, first served. Register now, get there early, and bring the team — adding them takes the same thirty seconds.
You're registered. The venue holds 400 and entry is first come, first served on the night, so come straight down when Day 1 wraps.
We've sent a confirmation to your inbox with the date, the address and how to find us on the night.
Wed 7 Oct 2026 · 5–10pm

When the sessions finish at five, come downstairs and keep the day going with friends and peers in the profession. Get your name on the list, bring your team, and we'll see you there.
Waterfront Street Kitchen & Bar, ExCeL London, Royal Victoria Dock E16 1XL
The DAS After Show is for attendees of the Digital Accountancy Show. Because the venue has limited capacity, we reserve the right to cancel registrations and refuse entry on the night — including to vendors and exhibitors who aren't partners of the event.
If you're attending the show, you're very welcome to carry on.
Everyone else is heading downstairs for live music, DJs and a free bar tab — sixty seconds from the show floor. It's free, and it takes about forty seconds to get your name down.
