Why it matters
The 2026 program features keynote speakers including Stanford AI Institute's Erik Brynjolfsson and Baker Tilly International chairman Barry Melancon. Unlike general AICPA conferences, it concentrates specifically on digital transformation, AI adoption and client advisory services for forward-looking firms. Attendees get direct exposure to the technology vendors and peer firms building AI-driven service lines.
Who attends
CPA firm partners, CAS practice leaders and firm technology executives attend, mostly from mid-size and larger firms building AI and advisory service lines.
