Conference
SYNERGY2021
Thank you for attending the virtual Thomson Reuters SYNERGY User Conference 2020 for corporations
We were proud to host SYNERGY 2020, our first fully virtual annual conference. We had close to 7,000 customers, and prospects register for the event from across Tax and Accounting Professionals, Corporate Tax, and Corporate Legal. Our corporate attendance broke records with more than 3,000 industry professionals.
Our annual conference is a unique opportunity to share expertise, energize your connections, and empower your circle of influence. You can attend educational sessions and learn from industry experts — plus, you'll spend several days earning CPE credit, getting hands-on training, learning about technology updates, and being inspired by your peers and industry leaders.

A look back at 2020
For four days, registrants engaged and interacted with users and tax experts from across the country. With over 50 speakers, 100 sessions, and 36 CPE credits up for grabs, attendees could truly customize their intake of information.
In addition to highlighting industry expertise, our annual conference is known for its great entertainment. And the 2020 virtual format certainly continued that tradition. Host James Corden kept everyone laughing, renowned musicians hosted an interactive virtual happy hour, four-time James Beard Award-winning Chef Andrew Zimmern explored the topic of wild foods while providing a live cooking demo, and the stars of Hamilton performed songs and answered audience questions.
As we look back at 2020, we can't help but look forward to 2021.
