Connect, collaborate, build
The Accounting Pipeline Diversity Symposium (APDS) brings together professionals from across the accounting and finance profession to discuss strategies and best practices for maintaining a strong and diverse talent pool.
Concurrent with our annual Accounting Scholars Leadership Workshop (ASLW) — where more than 100 bright and talented ethnically diverse accounting students will be in attendance — the symposium is a valuable opportunity to inspire the next generation of accounting and finance professionals.
You know there are infinite possibilities for becoming an accounting and finance professional. Join the symposium and share your knowledge.
