Practitioners, technologists, and thought leaders come together in person and online to help firms harness bold innovations in technology and business

Today, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting kicked off its 17th annual CCH® Connections User Conference for North America customers and strategic partners. Held on October 27-29, 2021 in Austin, Texas both in person and through a virtual format, this year’s event brings together hundreds of tax, accounting, and audit practitioners from firms across the United States. Participating in dozens of live and virtual keynotes, networking events, and topical sessions focused on advancing the digital transformation of the profession, attendees will work together to advance forward beyond the status quo by harnessing bold innovations in technology and business that are reshaping the industry and ushering in disruptive strategies for firms.

“We are at a convergence of rapid technology advancement, expanding software capabilities and fast changing legislation,” said Jason Marx, President and Chief Executive Officer, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting North America. “That is why we are thrilled to once again spend time with our customers to help them prepare for the future.”

The CCH® Connections User Conference features a dynamic roster of guest keynote speakers. The conference kicks off today with an address from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles Rettig. The second day will include a live in-person keynote presentation by Marc Randolph, cofounder of Netflix and national best-selling author and entrepreneur, which will also be streamed live online. And, the final day of the conference closes with a conversation with IRS Chief Taxpayer Experience Officer, Ken Corbin. Throughout the three days of the conference, guest emcee Katie Linendoll, an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, consumer technology expert, and one of the leading women in the field of technology, will help ensure speakers and participants keep technology innovation top of mind.

Jason Marx will open the conference with his perspectives on how firms can best address the challenges posed by rapid technology and business innovation. He will reinforce the advantages of digital transformation and its role in modernizing practices and speak about best ways for firms to unlock their data for deeper insights and improved productivity, to optimize processes, and to meet the changing client demands by empowering staff to make more informed decisions that add value for clients. During his keynote, he will be joined by IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, who will talk about the results of the 2021 tax season and share his insights on what went well along with the major challenges and priorities for the IRS going into the 2022 tax season.
