Start learning how to make it work for you.
Why you should Attend:
AI isn't coming it's already here. And if you're not using it, you're falling behind. While some finance professionals still view ChatGPT as a novelty, others are already using it to automate month-end close summaries, interpret tax code changes, generate audit checklists, and translate technical guidance into plain language. If you're not yet one of them, ask yourself: How long can you afford to rely solely on manual effort when your competitors are accelerating with AI?
The fear that AI will replace jobs is real but so is the opportunity for those who choose to embrace it. ChatGPT won't replace CPAs and finance pros but professionals who use AI effectively will replace those who don't. Imagine being able to draft reports, prepare client memos, analyze regulatory changes, or even brainstorm internal control narratives in minutes instead of hours.
