SYNERGY2022
Registration coming soon!
Welcome to Thomson Reuters SYNERGY User Conference 2022 for Corporate Tax and Trade Professionals
We're proud to announce that SYNERGY 2022 will take place November 13 – 16 in Washington, D.C. at the Gaylord National Harbor.
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 2021
For four days, attendees engaged and interacted in-person and virtually with users and tax and trade experts from across the country. With over 100 speakers, 200+ sessions, and 17 CPE credits up for grabs, attendees could truly customize their intake of information.
Outside of attending sessions and gaining additional product and thought leadership expertise, attendees heard from well-known industry leaders and immersed themselves in new technology with our keynote speakers. Our Broadcast Booth and Network allowed in-person and virtual attendees to hear live from our experts at SYNERGY on the latest tech trends, global regulatory updates, shared insights, and more.
In addition to highlighting industry expertise, our annual conference is known for its great entertainment. And the 2021 format certainly continued that tradition. Attendees enjoyed an authentic Nashville experience hearing from top local artists and listening to songs and stories from top songwriters in the country music industry.
As we look back at 2021, we can't help but look forward to 2022.
