There is an innovation imperative as we emerge from the great recession and shift our focus to growth. There is also another shift happening we cal the shift change as the largest generation in history begins to retire and hand over the reigns to a new generation. This shift is against the backdrop of five fundamental shifts in leadership, learning, technology, generations and the workplace itself. The MACPA CPA Innovation Summit is an attempt to bring those leading the changes in the CPA profession together with our members to connect, collaborate and innovate. With the use of leading technology tools to support engagement and collaboration. Our hope is to create an environment of planned serendipity in a way that the act of simply registering for this event will put CPAs in the place of best opportunity in order to open doors into the developments that will ultimately transform careers and the way CPAs work. Special thanks to our sponsors and strategic partners for making this possible - Sage, CCH Wolters Kluwer, CPA.COM, Tallie, XERO, ZOHO, Intaact, Bill.com, and ThinkTank, Conferences.io for helping us shape serendipity for Maryland CPAs and beyond.
