Memories will be featured throughout the anniversary year.
MICPA events bring learning, connection, and momentum to the profession. From award celebrations to local networking and idea-inspiring conferences, you’ll experience advocacy in action, feel the support of the CPA community and come away with the tools to continue your professional growth.
