Learn in the Morning. Live in the Afternoon.

The 2026 Summer Education Conference delivers a distinctive blend of professional growth and personal renewal — designed for CPAs who want meaningful CPE without sacrificing time away.

Hosted in partnership with the Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and Texas CPA Societies, this five-day in-person conference brings together professionals from across the SEC region for high-quality education, cross-state networking and a setting that makes it easy to recharge.

Each morning features four hours of focused CPE. Each afternoon is yours.

Beach. Kayaking. Family time. Peer connection. Reflection.

This is continuing education designed around real life.

What You’ll Gain

This conference equips CPAs to:

• Stay current on emerging technical, regulatory and professional issues
• Earn 20 CPE credits in a structured, efficient format
• Strengthen multi-state peer relationships across the Southeast
• Gain insight from diverse speakers and perspectives
• Return to work refreshed, refocused and better connected

The format is intentional: concentrated learning in the morning, uninterrupted time in the afternoon. That balance increases retention, encourages deeper peer conversation and allows space to recharge before busy season ramps up again.

A Regional Collaboration

This program is a joint initiative of the Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and Texas CPA Societies — creating a broader networking environment and exposure to perspectives beyond your local market.

You’ll connect with firm leaders, industry CPAs and rising professionals from across the region, expanding your professional network in a setting designed for relationship-building.

• CPAs in public practice
