## Why it matters

The University of Chicago Law School has run its Federal Tax Conference for 79 years, reaching its 79th edition in 2026.

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.

## Programme

- Corporate tax
- International tax
- Partnership taxation (Subchapter K)
- Outbound transactions (Section 367)
