An awards body that recognizes the most creative and unforgettable events in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East has awarded TOAcon, the conference for TOA Global clients.
TOAcon won Bronze in the Best Event by an In-House Team category at The Marketing Events Awards 2025.
The award honors events that are created and executed by an in-house team, instead of by an external agency, with “high levels of creativity as well as effective and seamless execution.”
TOA Global’s Growth, Marketing, Procurement, and Travel Teams worked closely together for months to organize TOAcon, which brought participants from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States to Boracay Island in the Philippines.
Unlike other accounting networking events
Held most recently in December 2025 at the Shangri-La Boracay in the Philippines, TOAcon brought together accounting firm leaders so they could:
- Take the time to invest in their personal, leadership, and business growth, while also recharging in an idyllic setting.
- Connect with other accounting leaders who also lead offshore teams, to learn from one another’s shared challenges and success stories.
- Better understand the culture of the Philippines and, after TOAcon, spend time with their offshore team members in person.
We had promised them that TOAcon would be “where your next breakthrough begins.” The participants’ feedback inspired us. They praised the quality of the speakers, who spoke about health and performance; building confidence and honesty as leaders; and thriving in the face of change.
They also raved about the supportive community and the chance to step back from their daily routines and focus on their leadership and personal transformation.
This was TOA Global’s fifth TOAcon, which by design is unlike other accounting networking events. TOAcon has also taken place in Cebu and Clark in the Philippines, and the Gold Coast in Australia.
A proud supporter of accounting conferences
Since 2013, TOA Global has grown to support more than 1,200 accounting and finance firms across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States, and Canada. Beyond the day-to-day, we’re focused on helping our clients grow, succeed, and scale sustainably. Knowing there’s real value in bringing clients together to share ideas and learn from one another, we’re excited to do just that again this October at our coLab Roadshow.
We employ more than 4,200 professionals who are dedicated to our clients’ businesses, supporting them by taking care of full-cycle accounting, audit, tax research and preparation, financial statements, and management reporting.
Clients who visit the Philippines for TOAcon typically extend their stay to run in-person coaching and planning events as part of TOAconnect with their TOA Global teams.
The Marketing Events Awards 2026 honored agencies and businesses that have organized and hosted events in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East.
TOA Global was also named a finalist in two other categories: Best B2B Event and Best Event: 100-500 Attendees.
Winners of this award in 2026 included Google, Mercedes Benz, Cathay Pacific, AWS, Figma, Netflix, Changi Airport Group, Marina Bay Sands, Citibank Singapore, and Nestle. Organizers celebrated with this year’s winners in August at the Ritz-Carlton in Singapore.
