## Why it matters

The High Tech Tax Institute has run annually since at least 1986 and reached its 42nd edition in 2026, according to San Jose State University's own archive. Unlike broad state-society tax conferences, its agenda is built entirely around technology-sector issues like international IP structuring, R&D credits, and cross-border M&A. Attendees get direct panel access to IRS officials alongside Silicon Valley's largest corporate tax departments and law firms.

## Who attends

Corporate tax executives, in-house counsel, and outside advisors from technology companies, alongside CPA and law firm practitioners and IRS officials.

## Programme

- International high-tech tax developments
- M&A and transactional tax
- IRS and government perspectives
- Corporate tax planning for technology companies
