"Being surrounded by hundreds of marketers of all levels and diving deeper into how to succeed in accounting marketing was the ultimate learning experience. Attending Summit for the first time on my own was intimidating at first, but I’ve never felt more comfortable networking and building relationships. Not only did I make connections all across the county, but now have some great new friends. "
Marketing Manager, Plante Moran
"Business development in accounting is still writing its playbook. Summit is where I go to challenge conventional thinking, learn from others pushing the profession forward, and help shape what growth looks like next. It's a proving ground for the ideas, strategies, and relationships that will shape the next generation of business development in accounting."
Chief Business Development Officer, Cherry Bekaert
"Connecting with industry colleagues is so valuable! Attending Summit is one of the best ways to build relationships and learn about what’s happening in the profession. "
