SYNOPSIS: Beyond Accounting – Beyond the Numbers
Similar to our 2019 in-person conference, 5 of the sessions will follow the same format. This is that 3 business and thought leaders will speak concurrently on each session topic. They will each have a 15 minutes segment and after the 3 have presented we will have some Q&A. The 6th session (Sustainability) will be a panel discussion with a moderator and 3 panelists.
As we agree sponsors and speakers we will update this listing. Speakers will be a mix of members , guests and sponsors – all thought leaders in their fields.
For the evening event we plan to show a relevant short movie and then discuss it and the impact on us as accountants.
