The Bigger Picture

The Chartered Accountants Ireland Annual Conference has been reimagined and we are excited to present a new fresh and dynamic Leadership Summit for 2024, this event is open to both members and non-members alike. All welcome.

Chartered Accountants are more than number crunchers, they are trusted business leaders adding real value, solving complex problems and making a positive impact in society. This event will look at ‘The Bigger Picture’ giving delegates the opportunity to identify and develop the skills needed to elevate their leadership journeys. 

With a carefully curated agenda and an exceptional speaker line up, this revamped unmissable event has been designed to educate and entertain delegates in equal measure. Who said learning can’t be fun and CPD can’t be cool?! 

Join us on the 9 May for a high energy afternoon of education and in-person networking curated to allow finance and business professionals of all levels the opportunity to reflect on the bigger picture. With limited venue capacity early booking is advised. The event will kick off with a delicious lunch in Elephant & Castle. A follow-on exclusive post summit social mixer is also available to book as an upgrade option.
