Drew Pflaum, CPA and former director of Munro's, now CEO of SavvyWise, said that he looks forward to welcoming attendees to ACE26, calling it "a conference you will not want to miss".
"One of the most important insights we've learning during the first year of SavvyWise is the value of providing practical training assistance for accountants. Unlike other conferences where the speakers have effectively paid to market their products, ACE stands out as a conference dedicated to truly providing value to accountants," he said.
"Whether it's learning how to genuinely use AI in accounting firms, staying alert to the ATOs latest key compliance actions, or the various other matters which impact accounting firms, we know that fellow accountants will leave wiser having attended ACE26."
"SavvyWise has committed to being principal partner to support this conference which genuinely cares about accountant's valuable time," he said.
The conference and exhibition will provide attendees the opportunity to forge connections with like-minded professionals, experts, and potential collaborators to strengthen their foundations in 2026, while staying updated on the latest regulatory developments with insights from prominent experts.
Attendees will also learn technical strategies to improve client outcomes and earn up to five CPD points to enhance their professional development.
