ABOUT CPA CON
CPAcon brings together a diverse community of forward-thinking accountants, financial professionals, and industry leaders from around the globe. It is designed for those who are eager to explore new pathways in accounting beyond the traditional roles of audit, tax, and advisory, as well as those who are passionate about innovation, networking, and redefining the profession.
CPAcon is a groundbreaking convention that celebrates accountants as industry champions, much like NBA All-Star Weekend or the Super Bowl. It offers a dynamic mix of competitions, educational sessions, and networking opportunities. The event integrates entertainment and media, including gaming, music, and production, providing a vibrant platform where accountants can showcase their skills, learn about industry developments, and connect with others. The convention also includes interactive mini-games and challenges that engage participants leading up to the event.
CPAcon is envisioned to be hosted in prominent convention centers and innovative venues in major cities, accessible to both local and international attendees. Specific locations will vary, aiming to rotate to different global cities to engage a wide audience. The ultimate goal is to create a global stage for the accounting profession.
