Overview
The Business & Energy Conference is now bigger and better than ever! This year, we’ve merged two major events into one expanded experience:
• Business & Industry Conference
• Energy Conference
With this powerful combination, the event offers even more opportunities for learning and networking. Sessions span both tracks, giving you the chance to connect with professionals across diverse sectors—including key decision-makers and industry influencers. This is your opportunity to broaden your knowledge, strengthen your network, and gain insights from some of the brightest minds in business and energy.
As part of your registration, you’ll also receive a free ticket to the Annual Meeting Lunch on Friday, where we’ll welcome new leadership and look ahead to the future of the profession. It’s a great chance to engage with your peers and hear what’s ahead for the industry. Don’t leave early—Friday night is the 1st Annual Ledgers & Legends Ball at the Ritz-Carlton. This exciting, black-tie optional event is all about celebrating the accomplishments of CPAs in a fun, festive setting. Expect an unforgettable evening of connection and celebration!
