Get ready for an all-in-one day of learning, networking, and community building with professionals from across the state! You will interact with a wider range of professionals, which can lead to valuable connections.
MACPA has planned a groundbreaking event, uniting three premier conferences into one powerful experience. You can take advantage of attending any of the specialized tracks within the program.
This is more than just a conference—it's a chance to connect with industry experts, discover new insights, and expand your professional network.
We've introduced color-coded tracks to make navigating our conference sessions easier and help you stay on top of your schedule. Each track is designed to group sessions by topic or area of focus, so you can quickly identify the sessions that match your interests.
Here’s how it works:
When you register for sessions, the corresponding track color will appear on your schedule, making it easy to visualize your learning journey at a glance. Plus, session signs and materials will also include these colors for quick recognition.
Use the color-coded system to stay organized, maximize your time, and ensure you don’t miss the sessions most relevant to you!
Our day will begin at 8 a.m. ET with breakfast and registration, as well as an optional sponsor CPE session. We will conclude by 5:00 p.m. Our sessions are still being planned - so be sure to check back for the updated agenda!
