Keynote Speakers Announced for FICPA MEGA Conference 2021

The Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA) has announced two keynote speakers for its upcoming MEGA Conference.

CPA.com’s President & CEO Erik Asgeirsson will address the conference on Thursday, June 10, when he presents “Acceleration of Change,” an in-depth look at the rapid evolution of the CPA profession throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. He’ll be followed on Friday, June 11, by Stetson University’s Randall Croom, Ph.D., who will explore “Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace,” highlighting how individuals and organizations can strive for equity as they create long-term value.

This year’s MEGA Conference is a three-day, virtual event from June 9-11, with an additional half-day of complimentary, TED-style learning labs scheduled for June 8.

MEGA is comprised of five specialized tracks – Accounting & Auditing, Employee Benefits, Emerging Topics, State Tax and Technology – providing an immersive and engaging experience for our attendees to “Meet, Engage, Grow and Achieve.” This Florida-focused conference brings together national and regional thought leaders to share their expertise and insights across more than 50 individual sessions.

MEGA’s Technology track, in specific, is highlighted by a pair of prominent presenters. Intuit’s Jasen Stine will open Friday’s session with a fireside chat on “How Leading Firms Evolve,” as Withum’s Jim Bourke closes with a high-level look at “Technology’s Role in Changing the Accounting Profession.”

The FICPA is proud to present this year’s MEGA Conference in partnership with our event sponsors: Intuit, CAMICO, Xero, Coaxis International, Merchant Advocate, Aon, CPA Charge, Payerang, and Sage.

MEGA is scheduled to make its in-person return at the Disney Contemporary Resort in Orlando, June 9-11, 2022.
