May 3-5 AICPA Employee Benefit Plans Conference (live online) — Special Member Benefit
The health and safety of our event participants and staff continues to be of the utmost importance. In light of the ongoing uncertainty regarding travel and restrictions on our ability to gather in Las Vegas at this time, the annual AICPA Employee Benefit Plans (EBP) Conference (early bird registration information was previously included in EBPAQC Alert #463) will no longer include an in-person option. The conference will be held entirely through our enhanced virtual platform.
Networking and building connections have become an integral part of the EBP conference and the AICPA will bring many networking opportunities to the online experience. With an evening event, interactive breaks, and more — the EBP online event offers you a rich opportunity to engage with peers, speakers, and service providers.
The virtual event will take place May 3 - 5, offering up to 23 hours of CPE credit.
