Overview
We've continued last year's popular format and invite you to attend our 2026 Annual Meeting and networking breakfast, followed by a short business meeting and keynote speaker, Withum Managing Director of Advisory Services Jim Bourke, CPA.CITP.CFF.CGMA .
Jim will discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are no longer concepts for the future – they’re transforming the way we work today. Waiting to adapt is not a strategy... it’s a risk. Explore how AI is reshaping the profession, and why professionals who hesitate will fall behind. You’ll gain insights into practical applications of AI, the competitive advantages of early adoption, and actionable steps to position your organization for success in this era of rapid change. The future isn’t coming – it’s here. Are you ready?
