If you’re an accounting educator in the Rocky Mountain region, staying ahead of change isn’t optional - it’s essential. From rapidly evolving technology to shifting licensure requirements and economic uncertainty, today’s classroom looks very different than it did even a few years ago.
That’s exactly why the 2026 COCPA Accounting Educators Conference was created - by educators, for educators - to address the real issues impacting both teaching and student success.
This year’s theme, “Navigating Trends to Help You Reach Your Teaching Goals,” reflects the reality educators face every day: constant change paired with the need to deliver meaningful outcomes for students. The conference is designed to help you cut through the noise, understand what trends truly matter, and apply them in ways that elevate your teaching.
Taking place on June 26 virtually or in person at the Galleria Office Towers in Glendale, Colorado, this one-day event delivers 8 CPE credits and is completely complimentary for educators making it one of the most accessible and valuable professional development opportunities of the year.
But what truly sets this conference apart is its focus: practical, relevant, and timely topics that you can immediately bring back to your classroom.
Here’s a snapshot of what your day will include:
