Annual Tax Planning Summit & Reunion
Your learning continues every year at our Annual Tax Planning Summit and Reunion. Held in cities like New Orleans, Memphis, Chicago, Sundance, Boston and San Diego, come together with your peers to learn new tax saving strategies from our vetted experts. We find companies who can provide important niche expertise and support services for your tax plans to help implement the most sophisticated strategies for your clients.
A favorite event is our Tax Shark Tank, where members get to work on an actual tax plan for a local business and pitch their findings to the business owner “Sharks.” Getting feedback from an actual client can offer invaluable insights.
Be inspired in this supportive community and renew your enthusiasm as we celebrate all your successes at our Awards Gala. One of the best benefits of membership is learning how to have more time to enjoy life!
