Accounting events tend to focus on technical or regulatory updates to help accountants get better at what they do.
While that’s important, TOA Global has chosen a different approach to our client conference, TOAcon.
That choice is paying off. TOAcon has been named a finalist in The Marketing Events Awards 2026 in three categories:
- Best B2B Event
- Best Event: 100-500 Attendees
- Best Event by an In-House Team
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
