Details

The CPA event of the year is going hybrid!

Many CPAs and business professionals are looking to advance in careers that align with their values, while more organizations are embracing a purpose-driven path to go beyond profit.

Our conference theme, Operate With Purpose, is inspired by this shift in the market and understanding the potential it creates for the profession.

In partnership with CPA BC, join us in Vancouver or virtually to explore the human elements of business that promote long-term success.

You’ll learn how to align process, performance and people while exploring key issues in leadership, tax, sustainability, data, talent strategies and more!
