Continuing our theme of being #Futureready and how to be even more anticipatory – aware, predictive, and adaptive of trends, we will cover the latest hard trends of legislation and regulation, technology and demographics facing our Profession. This session will include the latest major tax laws at the federal and state level and the just completed 2018 Maryland General Assembly. We continue the discussion about the future of the profession in an age of artificial intelligence, Big Data, Blockchain and Cloud technologies and discuss what skills will CPAs need to ‘future-proof’ your career? What can we do together to make sure CPAs and our members have a competitive advantage in this Fourth Industrial Revolution.
