Today’s world demands more than just great experiences at conferences; it calls for meaningful impact and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Last year we successfully hosted our first AICPA Not-for-Profit Conference CSR Reception, and together we assembled over 350 World Vision hygiene kits, providing critical support to first responders during disaster relief efforts. This year, we’re elevating both our experience and our reception by hosting it at Lookout 18, the rooftop lounge at the Gaylord National Resort—a premier hub for high‑impact connections. In partnership with Volunteer Alexandria, we’ll host a meaningful community support activity—paired with great views, an open bar, and appetizers.
