ALGA Annual Conference 2022- Hybrid Event | CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) | 1 May 2022 | Sheraton Dallas Hotel, 400 Olive St, Dallas, TX 75201

This virtual/in-person conference will offer innovative sessions on key topics including education, fraud, and cybersecurity — along with new techniques and tools for effective audit reporting; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and retaining employees in a competitive economy.

The conference features both in-person and remote presenters among the concurrent sessions and pre- and post-conference workshops. It includes four general sessions — two each day — for all attendees. For our remote attendees, 30 of the 40 concurrent sessions will be available to you. The conference will offer innovative sessions on key topics including education, fraud, and cybersecurity, along with new techniques and tools for effective audit reporting; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and retaining employees in a competitive economy. And regardless of whether you’re on your phone at the conference, on the computer in your office, or on your laptop at your local coffee shop, all attendees will be able to participate, ask questions, and engage with each other in real time on the conference platform. For many, networking is one of the highlights of the conference. For the folks in Dallas, our traditional Monday night event returns. Gilley’s is a legendary Dallas venue and promises to be a great time. Rumor has it line dancing may be involved for those so inclined. We’re also working on virtual networking opportunities, too. More to come as we get closer to the conference!

From the start, we’ve been committed to making this year’s conference available to as many ALGA members and friends as possible. Come May, it will have been three years since we last gathered in person! The Conference Committee and Member Services have done tremendous work to ensure we deliver a conference as fabulous as those before. But we also heard loud and clear the benefits of providing a virtual option — especially from those newly able to participate for the first time last year. Simultaneously achieving both these goals is a new frontier for us. Hence, our single pricing for this year’s conference, regardless of how you attend. We believe the cost — especially for the early birds — provides flexibility and value for all our attendees, whether you join us virtually or in-person!
