2026 Midyear Conference

TEI’s Midyear Conference is the premier event for in-house tax professionals and focuses on the policy, technology, and practical challenges shaping the corporate tax function in an election-year environment. Keynote and plenary sessions with current and former Treasury leaders highlight tax policy developments, midterm election considerations, and evolving IRS priorities. Plenary and concurrent sessions will cover critical federal, international, and SALT topics, including Pillar Two, tariffs, transfer pricing, partnerships, R&D credits, M&A, executive compensation, and increasing audit and controversy activity. New for 2026 are practical sessions focused on the technological transformation of the tax function, with TEI Tax Lab sessions offering hands-on experience with the growing use of AI, automation, data visualization, and managed services across compliance and controversy. Additionally, the conference will address leadership and ethical considerations, equipping in-house tax professionals with practical insights to manage risk, navigate uncertainty, and drive value in a complex global tax environment.
