Where Strategy, CPE and Perspective Meet

The Summer Education Conference is designed for professionals who need more than technical updates—they need perspective.

Join CPAs from across the South for five days of high-level learning covering tax, AI, accounting and auditing updates, business valuation, economic outlook and the future of the profession.

With nationally recognized speakers, including AICPA leadership, this conference helps you step back from daily demands, strengthen strategic thinking and return with sharper insight for the decisions ahead.

Earn up to 20 CPE hours each morning, then use your afternoons to recharge, connect and enjoy Gulf Shores with family, peers and colleagues. It’s professional growth built for real life.
