The Practice Connection Experience

More than professional development

Step away from the day-to-day to connect with fellow practitioners, exchange ideas, learn from shared experiences, and have the conversations you don’t always have time for.
And yes, you’ll learn plenty too.

Gain up to 16 hours of professional development, with expert insights, practitioner perspectives, and practical ideas you can bring back to your practice.

Hear from practitioners

There’s Always Time to Learn and Connect
Stephen shares why connecting with other practitioners matters at every stage of practice.

Learn. Connect. Experience.

Learn
Industry experts and practitioners who understand the realities of running an accounting or bookkeeping practice.

Expert-led sessions, practitioner perspectives, roundtables and Q&A create opportunities to explore ideas you can take back to your practice.

Connect
The conversations are part of the learning.

Share experiences, ask questions and talk openly with other practice owners and leaders about what’s working, what’s challenging and what you’re figuring out along the way.

Experience
Learning doesn’t only happen in a session.

The Practice Connection includes experiences designed to help you connect, recharge and look at familiar challenges in a different way. With team culture and connection on the minds of many practice owners, you’ll experience different approaches to play and engagement, with simple ideas you can adapt and bring back to your own team.

What Practitioners Took Away

“I really enjoy getting together with a room of practitioners to discuss running our firms. It’s interesting and validating to hear people’s experiences.

“I had a great time. It was great to get perspective from other practice leaders and gain additional perspective on the direction accounting firms are going.”

“The networking and the way everyone wanted to share information.”

Technology Has Come a Long Way

Last year, Eric Robert brought his dad’s old computer to the technology roundtable. His father was an accountant too, making it a fitting reminder of just how much technology in the profession has changed and a great starting point for conversation about where it’s going next.

This year, we’re continuing the conversation.

Technology and AI will be woven throughout The Practice Connection, with Michael Anderson, Mike McLenehan and Eric Robert helping practitioners explore what’s changing, what matters for their firms and where to focus next.
