University of Chicago Federal Tax Conference (79th)
University of Chicago Federal Tax Conference (79th) runs Nov 5-6, 2026 at Gleacher Center in Chicago, Illinois, with tickets from USD 625.
An annual capacity-limited conference where scholars and top practitioners debate draft tax papers on stage at Chicago's Gleacher Center.
Why it matters
The University of Chicago Law School has run its Federal Tax Conference for 79 years, reaching its 79th edition in 2026. Unlike CPE-focused practitioner conferences, panels here open from a submitted paper or abstract that named commentators then debate live on stage. Attendees get direct exposure to sitting and former Treasury and IRS officials arguing through unsettled technical questions alongside leading academics.
Who attends
Tax attorneys, accountants, law professors, and current or former senior government tax officials who follow federal corporate, international, and partnership tax developments closely.
Program
- Corporate tax
- International tax
- Partnership taxation (Subchapter K)
- Outbound transactions (Section 367)
- Tax guidance and regulatory policy
