TCPI’s 27th Annual Tax Policy & Practice Symposium

May 14-15, 2026 | 8am – 1pm

Program Description

The ongoing changes around Pillar 2, rapidly evolving trade policy, and implementation of the recent US tax bill will have far-reaching implications. Tax is poised for significant transformation as domestic and international policy reforms crystallize and emerging technologies reshape how both taxpayers and administrators manage compliance and enhance efficiency. Our program will provide a forward-focused platform, highlighting both obstacles and opportunities that may emerge as businesses and other stakeholders strive to adapt to the changes and remain competitive.

Areas to be explored include:

  • Long-term fiscal outlook: What are the critical factors shaping future tax policy decisions and the implications for governments and business alike?
  • Tax law changes: What are the challenges and opportunities presented by recent and potential US tax legislative changes?
  • From idea to implementation and beyond: What are the hallmarks of practical, actionable tax guidance in a shifting regulatory landscape and how are global dispute resolution strategies impacted?
  • Federal and state tax dynamics: How might states reconcile and resolve growing tax administrative complexity with the budgetary pressures created by recent and potential US tax legislative changes?
  • Global tax developments: What are the operational and policy ramifications of the latest international tax activity, including OECD, EU, UN and unilateral measures?
  • Artificial intelligence, quantum computing and the next big innovation: Where and when might these continually evolving technologies impact taxation and how?
  • A view from the executive suite: How are today’s business leaders adapting their strategies and operations to manage current and potential future risks and opportunities in this dynamic environment?

We look forward to including your voice in this vital conversation. Please mark your calendars to join this important discussion as we come together to explore policy developments and share insights and practical strategies to successfully navigate the chaos.
