Change Makes a Big Difference for Participants – MACPA’s Small Practitioners Conference

This year’s Small Practitioners Conference at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids has undergone an extensive format change in response to the dramatic increase in travel expenses. Participants have the option of earning up to 18 credit hours, while minimizing the cost to do so because the Conference has been reduced to two days, instead of three. The two-day event, on Thursday-Friday, August 21-22, packs in exciting keynote presentations, experience exchange workshops, ethics sessions, a fun and exciting entertainment night, and much more.

Presentations include:
  • Predictions & Realities in the Small Practitioner Market Place by Richard Caturano, CPA, president and CEO of Vitale Caturano in Boston. His keynote presentation is followed up by his breakout session entitled Three Keys to the Realities.
  • Small Firm Focus on the Profession by Jim Metzler, CPA, vice president of Small Firm Interests for the AICPA.
  • Hot Trends in Accounting … Right off the Press! from Rick Telberg, editor at large for the AICPA Insider/Bay Street Group.
  • Private Company Financial Reporting Committee Update from Judy O’Dell, chair of the Private Companies Financial Reporting Committee in Chestertown, MD.
  • Plus many others!
