What a day. The ICB Bookkeepers Summit has once again reminded us why this community is so special, and this year it felt bigger, brighter and more alive than ever.

With a total attendance of over 650 pepole, the Summit proved beyond doubt that the bookkeeping profession is not only thriving but flourishing. The energy, the conversations, the connections being made; you could not help but smile knowing you were surrounded by people who care deeply about bookkeeping, small business support and the future of the profession. 

With 25 vendors eager to talk to bookkeepers and two full tracks of content, the day delivered learning, inspiration and community-building at every turn.
