Women Who Count Conference
Women Who Count Conference runs Oct 21-23, 2026 at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa in Hilton Head, with tickets from USD 649.
Women in accounting: technical sessions, leadership. Up to 21 CPE. $649-$1,249. Hosted by AFWA.
Why it matters
Women Who Count is the Accounting and Financial Women's Alliance's national conference, drawing 300-plus women in accounting and finance to Hilton Head each fall under an organisation with an 80-plus year history dating to 1938. Unlike general state-society conferences, every track centers women's leadership and career advancement alongside standard technical CPE. In-person attendees can earn up to 17 CPE hours, roughly triple the virtual-only option.
Who attends
Women across the accounting and finance profession, including CPAs, auditors, financial analysts, controllers and CFOs, plus students and retirees eligible for a discounted rate.
Tickets and opening times
