AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE, one of the world’s leading events for accounting and finance professionals, is designed to give attendees the tools and resources they need to adapt and thrive in challenging times. The June 6-9 event, available virtually or in person at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, is sponsored by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

The event will have two main keynotes and a panel discussion with AICPA leaders:

  • Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski, the former Duke University men’s basketball coach who led his team to five national championships and six gold medals as head coach of the U.S. Men’s National Basketball Team, will talk about techniques for consistently building a winning team and achieving success
  • Carla Harris, managing director and senior client advisor for Morgan Stanley and author of several bestselling business books, including “Expect to Win: 10 Proven Strategies for Thriving in the Workplace,” will discuss managing through and creating change and lessons for becoming an impactful and influential leader
  • AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, AICPA Chair Anoop Mehta, Sue Coffey, the AICPA’s CEO of public practice, and Erik Asgeirsson, president and CEO of CPA.com, will give an update on challenges and opportunities for the accounting profession

ENGAGE includes seven broad learning categories, with the new inclusion of a track keyed to corporate finance and controllers. Other tracks include Advanced Accounting and Auditing, Advanced Estate Planning, Advanced Personal Financial Planning, EDGE Career Development, Practitioners and Tech+, and Tax Strategies for the High-Income Individual. In addition, a series of sessions focused on diversity, equity and inclusion are available to help accounting and finance professionals build or expand their initiatives in this area.
