Steven Dresner liked thisSteven Dresner liked thisSouth Florida, here I come! Apparently, I made it into the PIPEs Conference marketing material this year, as my friend Neil Reithinger made sure to point out EVERY time another marketing email landed in his inbox. Coffee in hand, apparently holding court. ☕ I figured if I was in the marketing material, I had to go! So next week, I'll be heading to Hollywood, Florida for the 2026 PIPEs Conference. I'll also be arriving a couple days early to catch up with friends and colleagues in South Florida. If you're attending the conference, or just happen to be in the Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami area next week, let's connect! Always happy to grab a coffee, lunch, or meet up for happy hour. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting a few new ones! #PIPEsConference #CapitalMarkets #SouthFlorida #cpa #audit
