My Time at the FICPA #MegaCPE Event at Disney World, Orlando

June 12 2014

For the last two days, I’ve been at the FICPA MEGA Conference in Orlando and it was awesome! Here are the highlights and I highly encourage anyone in Florida to attend next year. There was a one day event for Students and Young Professionals called Accel, led by Dan Griffith (see below), and the reaming three days are CPE for active CPA’s.

If you’re outside the state, here is a list of all the AICPA state societies where you can get involved locally!

Tom Hood, CEO of the Maryland Association of CPA’s Keynote Speech Tom gave a great presentation and you can see his slides below. Take a look and see the highlights from the twitter madness that Ten Key Heroes created! I was SUPER excited as Tom Hood mentioned Ten Key Heroes right on stage to the whole group! Very exciting!
