Upcoming Presentations

Sam Allred presents 6-8 topics a year and each topic is presented on two dates. To ensure that as many people as possible receive value from your firm’s involvement in these presentations, there is no limit to the number of individuals from the firm who can participate in each conference call and firms can participate on either or both dates. During the call, participants can ask questions related to the topic and receive knowledgeable answers drawn from Sam’s many years of experience consulting and interacting with hundreds of accounting firms around the world.

After each Management Presentation, registered firms automatically receive a copy of the PowerPoint on CD, with embedded audio recorded during the conference call. The CD makes it easy to share the presentation later on with those unable to attend the live session.

Management Presentations start at 10:00am Mountain Time (noon Eastern Time) and last one hour. CPE credit is available for those who attend the live presentation.
