Time to talk post tax season. We'll have Tax Talk: Reflecting on the Good, Bad, & Ugly of this tax season. Let’s discuss what worked, what didn’t, and future improvements. This is an annual favorite! Keep in mind, this is an open forum - we never limit discussion to just one topic so if you have other technology questions bring them to the table. Please note, pre-registration is required. To access the meeting, use your online account, go to MY CTCPA, My Professional Development, My Upcoming Courses.  Bring your coffee, your ideas to share, and join us for what is always a lively discussion! We've got experts on board who can help you with cybersecurity, client portals, accounting software, and more. TechConneCT attendance is free and open only to CTCPA members in good standing. No CPE will be given but you get free answers and valuable guidance. Hosted by the CTCPA Technology Group.

NEW This Year: Breakfast Networking Hour! We’ve switched things up this year and are doing something different in response to member requests: a breakfast meeting with a networking hour over coffee, small bites... and a scrambled egg bar. Everyone’s watching what’s happening at the federal level right now, so we’re excited to feature an economist from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston as our keynote speaker. Vice President and Economist Jeffrey P. Thompson will offer valuable insights into the current national landscape. CTCPA Executive Director Bonnie Stewart will also share the latest updates on our CPA mobility and pathways to licensure legislative efforts — projects that we believe will help the profession’s pipeline efforts.Schedule of Events7:45 a.m.  Registration8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.  Networking breakfast9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Business meeting (featuring election and installation of the 2025-26 Board of Directors and Advisory Council members) and keynote speaker Jeffrey P.
