Why Attend
Rapid change just found another gear. The things we thought impossible are happening. The world is in a moment that marks the start of a significant change. Our challenge is to not only make it through this, but to come out better on the other side. How is the profession evolving through this crisis and what can we learn to prepare us for the future? Join a conversation about how to adapt to our new normal, about what could be possible tomorrow and what we can all learn from the experience to improve the profession moving forward. Help shape the future.
This is a virtual conference designed to give voice to everyone participating. During the live event, you will have exclusive access to the pre-recorded session led by industry experts – and while the session plays, a chat will run simultaneously giving you the option to communicate with the speakers and attendees to flesh out ideas together in a meaningful and practical way. After the event, all participants will receive a whitepaper capturing the collective knowledge shared during the event from both the speakers and attendees alike.

FAQs
This virtual conference is co-founded by three organizations: Maryland Association of CPAs, Montana Society of CPAs, and Matchbox Virtual Media.
Montana and Maryland CPA societies are convinced that the best way to prepare the industry to be ready for this change is through collaboration, so that all can be part of creating the best future for the profession and their members.
Matchbox Virtual Media creates virtual conferences that drive conversations that matter and foster connections that last. Matchbox provides purpose driven organizations strategies to build collaborative networks and leverage the knowledge and experience of their members in order to facilitate progress, education, and awareness.
This is a one-day event from 12:00 – 2:00 PM ET on May 13th. The session is two hours long and is pre-recorded. Pre-recording allows the speakers to spend the entire session period in the attendee chat answering your burning questions. At the same time, you’ll be able to communicate with the other attendees through the same chat. Join in on whichever conversation is most interesting to you!

We expect that event attendees respect each other and behave in a generally civilized fashion. Members should respect common rules for public behavior, personal interaction, common courtesy, and respect. Abusive, harassing, or threatening behavior towards any other attendee or directed at any conference member or partner (even those not present at the conference) will not be tolerated and the event moderators reserve the right to remove chat privilege access on a case-by-case basis.

As for browsers, we recommend using Chrome for the smoothest user experience on any website. Similarly, we strongly recommend against Internet Explorer 8.
