What 2023 conference attendees had to say about this event:

  • "Always well put on by the ISCPA - thank you!"
  • "This was my first time at this conference after just leaving a large firm that did mostly internal CPE. I had a very positive experience at the conference and was glad I chose it. The speakers were high quality and brought great energy. Doing the courses in 2 hour increments is perfect."
  • "The tax sessions with David Peters is one of the best instructors I've ever had. Made many of the more complex
    topics much simpler and easier to understand. Brought energy."
