Overview
The CPA profession is evolving - fast. Expectations are shifting, complexity is increasing, and the path forward demands more than technical expertise. It demands clarity, leadership, and community.
The 2026 WSCPA Membership Summit is designed for this moment.
This is not a traditional conference. It's a one-day experience built around the conversations that matter most—grounded in real data, shaped by national voices, and designed to help you lead with confidence through what comes next.
You'll start with a clear-eyed economic outlook, then move into forward-looking conversations on professional readiness, legislative change, emerging risk, and the future of CPA readiness. This year, we've intentionally designed the day around 7 in person CPE hours—not 8—because we've heard from you that the most valuable learning happens between sessions, not in them. More breathing room. More real conversation. More connection.
Be inspired as Bobby Dutton takes you to 35,000 feet.
In this engaging keynote, this aviation expert reveals how the decision-making systems pilots rely on under pressure translate directly to the high-stakes environment CPAs navigate every day. Calm under fire. Situational awareness. Systems that keep small mistakes from becoming big problems. This session doesn't just inspire—it gives you tools you'll actually use.
The day closes with a session on communicating the true value of your work- walking you through how to tell your story, followed by a hosted networking reception.
You'll leave with:
- Practical tools for leadership, decision-making, and resilience
- Insight into the economic, legislative, and risk forces shaping your profession
- Stronger connections across firms, career stages, and areas of practice
- A first look at two new WSCPA communities built for where you are right now
- 7.0 CPE hours — plus a free 1-hour follow-up webinar available to all attendees
At WSCPA, your greatest return isn't just on education - it's on involvement.
