Accounting and CPA firm conferences
The conferences worth the out-of-season week, with the dates and venues each organiser has confirmed. Accounting has more conferences than almost any profession and most of them are aimed at somebody other than a small firm owner, so every entry says who it is really for.
6 upcoming · dates confirmed with each organiser
- Official siteConferenceOctober 26 to 28, 2026
Intuit Connect 2026
Aria Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, NV
Intuit's own event, so the value tracks how deep you are in their ecosystem. For a small firm running QuickBooks Online Accountant it is probably the most directly useful week on this list; for anyone else it is a vendor conference.
Best for: Firms built on QuickBooks
- Official siteConferenceNovember 4 to 6, 2026
AICPA Forensic & Valuation Services Conference 2026
National Harbor, MD
Genuinely specialist. If dispute resolution or valuation is a service line it is the event for it, and if it is not there is nothing here for you.
Best for: Litigation support and business valuation practitioners
- Official siteConferenceNovember 9 to 10, 2026
AICPA & CIMA National Tax Conference 2026
Grand Hyatt Washington, Washington, DC
Two days and technical, held in Washington so the legislative sessions come with people who work on the rules. The shortest commitment on this list.
Best for: Tax practitioners
- Official siteConferenceNovember 16 to 19, 2026
AICPA & CIMA CFO Conference 2026
Fontainebleau, Las Vegas, NV
For CFOs rather than practice owners. On the list because it is often mislabelled as a firm conference in other roundups, and it is not one.
Best for: Finance leaders inside companies
- Official siteConferenceDecember 6 to 9, 2026
Digital CPA Conference 2026
San Diego, CA, and online
The one about how a firm makes money rather than about technical accounting: technology, advisory services, pricing. Runs hybrid, so it is the only entry here you can attend without travelling.
Best for: Firms moving into advisory work
- Official siteConferenceJune 27 to 30, 2027
Scaling New Heights 2027
Orlando Marriott World Center, Orlando, FL
Woodard's event, aimed squarely at how a practice is run. Themed 'Transcend the Machines' for 2027, and scheduled well clear of any filing season. AICPA ENGAGE usually lands in June too but had not confirmed 2027 dates when this page was last checked.
Best for: Firm owners and practice leaders
Dates and venues are taken from each organiser and were last checked in August 2026. Conferences move, so confirm on the official site before booking anything. If we have a date wrong or an event missing, tell us and we will fix it.
