MEGA
FICPA's Premier Educational and Networking Event
On June 11-13, the FICPA welcomed more than 400 members, speakers, sponsors/exhibitors, and special guests to Universal Orlando’s Loews Sapphire Falls Resort for our premier event, MEGA 2024.
This year’s event featured four exciting days of continuing professional education, networking and socializing.
We were honored to be joined this year by our keynote speaker, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis; CPA Lawmaker and FICPA 2024 Legislative Champion Award winner, Sen. Joe Gruters; and valued legislative partner and longtime supporter of the FICPA, Sen. Ed Hooper.
In addition to the main event, we welcomed attendees to our Accounting Scholars Leadership Symposium, Personal Financial Planning Boot Camp, and Women’s Leadership Summit. The FICPA also held its 2024 Women to Watch Awards ceremony, honoring this year’s Experienced Leader, Cristina Hale, and Emerging Leader, Carmen Velasquez.
On Wednesday evening, Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Melanie Griffin, Board of Accountancy Chair Brent Sparkman and BOA Executive Director Roger Scarborough welcomed 27 CPAs to the profession during our annual Newly Certified Ceremony. The remainder of the evening was devoted to our Chairs’ Reception, during which Key O’Keefe passed the gavel to the FICPA’s 97th Chair, Ed Duarte.
