As generative Artificial Intelligence continues to develop at a breakneck pace, one question dominates the current conversation: what does this mean for us? Dr. Radhika Dirks, one of Forbes’ 30 Women in AI to Watch, gives us the answers we need to prepare for an AI future. She reveals the underlying currents of generative AI, providing a panoramic view of its applications and future potential. She shares the “three waves of generative AI” that are reshaping creativity, businesses, and our lives. “The reality is the entire technology stack of the world has changed. We need to transform with it,” Radhika says. She helps navigate the maze of AI's capabilities and pitfalls, addressing how to use AI responsibly and effectively in a rapidly changing world.

Why is it that some CPA firms are always viewed as the “firm of the future,” while others are nothing more than a confederation of offices held together by a common name and compliance services? Why do the top 10% of CPA firm partners earn so much more than those in the lower quadrant? Is it as simple as total work hours, size of market, and seniority, or are there other performance characteristics at play? Allan Koltin will share with us four decades of consulting experience on what he deems to be the “Best of the Best” when it comes to common success characteristics of high performing partners and firms. Allan was named to Accounting Today’s 2024 Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting and ranked an impressive #2 on that list by votes received from the candidates.
