AICPA National Tax Conference 2018 | American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) | 12 November 2018 | Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, 901 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001, USA

The AICPA’s National Tax Conference, hosted in the heart of the nation’s capital and online, brings leading tax practitioners and key government officials together to present differing and shared positions for a thoughtful review of potential scenarios, tax priorities and a pulse check of the ever-changing tax landscape.

Beyond the long view, the conference will help you skillfully maneuver within the present timeframe. Guidance direct from the IRS, Treasury and the DOJ, combined with peers’ experiences and insights, will help you find the best path forward in advising your clients.

Dual Perspectives
One of the most popular features of this conference is seeing how the same topic looks different from varying viewpoints, all of them correct, from the IRS, Treasury, DOJ or the practitioner.

Who Should Attend?
CPAs and other financial professionals at every experience level, who are involved with tax planning, consulting and compliance.
