After a year of canceled, postponed, and virtual events, several big accounting trade shows and conferences are coming back in-person this summer. Some events are still virtual-only but others are offering both remote and virtual options. Attending accounting events is a great way to network with others in your industry, learn how to grow your practice, and discover new workflows. Plus, it's a chance to earn CPE credits.
