Overview

Accounting is stronger when we build together. The BTG Roadshow brings firms of all sizes and solution providers into one room to share practical plays for building community, deepening client and team connection, and collaborating smarter across the ecosystem. Expect candid conversations, real examples you can use, and an onsite happy hour to cement new relationships.

What you’ll gain

  • Concrete community plays that improve retention and engagement
  • Workflow ideas that reduce rework and make expectations crystal clear
