What did you enjoy most at CPA Celebration this year? 

“For all those able to attend CPA Celebration, I hope you enjoyed the new venue and format. I always look forward to seeing so many colleagues and meeting new people at the event. This year it was wonderful to see so many individuals who are impacting our profession be recognized. This includes the new candidates who passed the Exam as well as all the award finalists and winners. It was amazing to hear the stories of the award winners. I’m already looking forward to next year and hope everyone participates in nominating great people to be recognized.”

“I really liked the new venue for CPA Celebration this year, but what I enjoyed the most was being able to celebrate the next generation of CPAs. The presentation from Malayna, a former INCPAS Scholar, was inspiring. It was also wonderful to acknowledge the success and achievements of current CPAs with the awards that were presented, including the new “Women to Watch” award. Congrats to all the award winners and thank you for your contributions to the profession!”

“The newness of everything! A new location, new program, new award categories, and new focus on the Indiana CPA Educational Foundation’s work created a refreshed experience, while continuing to recognize those who are doing great things within and for our profession. The 360-photo booth was also a pretty cool experience! Thanks to the INCPAS staff who worked hard to make the event a success!”

“I thought the new venue was awesome; the food and drink were good; and the company was even better. I also enjoyed the fundraising done on behalf of the Indiana CPA Educational Foundation. The “on screen“ live view of donations created a competitive, game-like atmosphere which was fun for the attendees and beneficial for the Foundation. But my most favorite part was hearing all of the stories about our awards finalists! These individuals truly have achieved amazing things and were such an inspiration to those in attendance. I look forward to what the next event brings!”
