Attending the IPT Annual Conference was both fun and rewarding. The conference allows students to interact with various tax professionals in a welcoming environment, and the sessions give valuable insight into the intricacies of state and local taxation. I encourage all students, no matter the education level, to consider applying to this beneficial event."

Since joining the IPT in the early '90s, the IPT has been my go to Sales & Use Tax Professional Association.  Without the CMI certification, I would not have advanced in my career to the point where I am now!  Also, the networking opportunities are second to none. The tax professionals that I have met at IPT conferences and schools are the people I reach out to when I have questions

IPT has provided a solid foundation for the learning required and the core values needed in my professional tax career. With the support of Schneider National, Inc., I have attended many of the tax schools and programs which provided education and information on current issues specific to state property tax, sales tax, and income tax. Schneider National supports the professionalism and high ethics of the Institute and their goal to provide members with education based on current requirements of the tax profession.

The IPT Annual Conference was a great chance to network with professionals in the field of taxation as well as learn about specific laws that are being put into place. I had no idea how many different opportunities existed for state and local tax professionals until I came to this conference. By being able to interact with the professionals, I was able to gain insight into certain industries and get a feel as to what it was like to be in this profession. I enjoyed the opportunity to listen in on multiple sessions held by experts in many different fields. It was a great few days and I would recommend applying to anyone who is interested in taxation.
