In an industry where community matters as much as technology, the future of accounting will be built not through isolation but through meaningful connections that transcend a single event.
In this special episode of the RightNOW podcast, guest host Rob Brown interviews the leadership team behind the upcoming RightNOW25 conference. Joel Hughes, Monica Sullivan, and Michael Bird share their vision for this landmark event designed specifically for accounting professionals across the US and beyond.
The conversation explores how RightNOW25 differentiates itself from other industry events by focusing on real-world challenges facing accounting firms today, including cybersecurity, AI adoption, staffing shortages, and private equity trends. The Rightworks team emphasizes that unlike typical "one-and-done" conferences, RightNOW creates a year-round community experience where professionals can continue learning and building relationships.
For firms contemplating attendance, the message is clear: this is an opportunity to connect with peers, gain practical solutions, and return to your practice with actionable ideas you can implement "right now." With keynotes from business leaders, plus 14 hours of CPE credit available, the event promises valuable learning alongside memorable networking in Nashville's vibrant atmosphere.
Join the Rightworks team and accounting professionals from across the country at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, May 19-21, for what promises to be an unforgettable and transformative experience.
