A big thank you to everyone who helped make our 2021 Virtual Global Meeting such a tremendous success!

Taking place over a full 17-hours on 20 October, our 2021 Virtual Global Meeting attracted some 650 people from 200 firms throughout the day, representing 80% of member firms around the world.

It was a great coming together of members, staff and colleagues of all levels and backgrounds!

The 17-hour rolling programme gave plenty of opportunity for everyone involved to choose time slots according to their time zone, and the variety and pace of sessions delivered a good mix of “Getting to know each other” networking, guest speakers, member-led breakout discussion groups on technical and business issues, global and regional updates and presentations.

Feedback from our members around the world has been positive! 

92% of members providing feedback rated the event 4 or 5 stars saying they were "very satisfied" with the event overall. We also saw a total of 354 messages exchanged among delegates on the day and a total of 84 discussions held.  

The “Best Session” with the most attended delegates was The Great Reset: the New World of Work presentation by world-renowned guest speaker Christine Armstrong, writer and consultant specialising in the future of work, workplaces, leadership and company communication. The “Best Networker” on the day was Mohammad Noor from Al-Hamli & Partners Co. in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.   

What was your favourite aspect of the event? 

"Seeing Firms from different backgrounds and regions", says Paul Rudoy from H2R CPAs, USA. "Meeting up with colleagues via the chat/networking sessions", says, David Peirson from F. W. Smith, Riches & Co., UK and "Guest speakers and people talking about their experiences over working in these covid times", says Krystle Penhall from MGI Auckland, New Zealand.
