AICPA National Tax Conference 2019 | American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) | 13 November 2019 | The Marriott Marquis, Washington, DC, 901 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001, USA

Come to the AICPA’s National Tax Conference, hosted in the heart of the nation’s capital and online, to remain up to date on changing tax legislation and other critical issues that affect you and your clients.

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. Come for a different lens on your daily decisions.
