Bigger and Better Than Ever: A Look Back at MEGA 2023 

In June, the FICPA welcomed more than 500 members, speakers, sponsors and special guests to the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek for our premier annual event: MEGA. 

This year’s reimagined conference invited everyone on site and streaming from home to “Explore the Possibilities” across four full days of continuing professional education, networking and socializing. 

In addition to the main conference slate, MEGA 2023 was also home to our Accounting Scholars Leadership Symposium, Bridge the Gap Conference, Personal Financial Planning Boot Camp, and Women’s Leadership Summit, where we were proud to recognize our two 2023 Women to Watch Award Winners, Marie Rosier and Elizabeth Jackson.

The highlight of the week, MEGA Thursday featured an address from the Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the return of our Newly Certified Ceremony – with visits from CPA Lawmaker Sen. Joe Gruters and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Melanie Griffin – and our annual dinner and celebration: the FICPA Chair’s Reception. 

Enjoy a look back at MEGA with our recap video and photo gallery.
