2005 Information Technology Conference Calendar
by Roman H. Kepczyk, CPA, CITP

As technology consultants, we are often asked  which are the best conferences to attend for CPAs involved with internal technology to get training and expand their network of contacts.  Our experience has shown that we learn the most from CPA Association technology meetings, where we can share information with peer firms in a non-competitive environment.  If your firm is not a member of one of these groups, we would suggest you consider joining one.  In addition we recommend attending some of the following Accounting Industry or Computer Industry Conferences, where you will have a chance to meet and hear a variety of vendors and independent speakers.  In addition, your technical personnel should get involved with local technology events/users groups such as those sponsored by Microsoft.
