🏔️ 2026 PEAK KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Avoid AI Sameness: Delivering Truly Transformative Value to Clients

AI has made it easier than ever to produce output quickly — and easier than ever to look exactly like everyone else. In this timely keynote, Jen Wilson challenges accounting and finance professionals to go beyond the tools and reclaim what makes their expertise irreplaceable, offering a clear framework for delivering value no platform can replicate.

The Unique CPA — Live Podcast Recording

In a first for PEAK, Randy Crabtree — host of one of the most listened-to accounting podcasts in the country and one of Accounting Today's Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting — takes the stage for a live podcast recording, with a COCPA member turning the mic on him. The conversation will explore what it really means to rethink how a CPA operates today: redefining value, building people-first cultures, and finding the intersection of passion and skill in the profession.

Economic Update — Back by Popular Demand

One of Colorado's most beloved economists returns to PEAK — back by popular demand — with the up-to-the-minute economic intelligence that accounting and finance professionals rely on to make confident decisions. This year's session arrives at a uniquely high-stakes moment: PEAK takes place just days after the election, making this one of the most timely economic briefings of the year.

How I Got Caught: A Deep Dive Into an $800K Fraud

In this rare and riveting keynote, Craig Stanland delivers a firsthand case study of how he orchestrated an $800,000 fraud against a Fortune 500 company — tracing exactly how rationalization forms, which control weaknesses fraudsters exploit, and what signals are visible long before losses occur. CPAs, auditors, and financial leaders will walk away thinking differently about the people and organizations they serve.
