NASACT Annual Conference

The NASACT Annual Conference brings together state auditors, comptrollers and treasurers from around the nation for in-depth education on government financial management issues.

This year we have some exciting general sessions. We will kick off the conference with a message from legendary football coach and ESPN analyst Lou Holtz. Medici Ventures President and Overstock.com Board Chairman Jonathan Johnson will discuss the hot topic of blockchain and how it is being used in the real world. New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Pollack will discuss our complex and multigenerational workforces and all the challenges (and opportunities) they present. We will hear from the National Governors Association’s executive director, Scott Pattison, on a range of issues that governors currently face. Breakthrough performance will be the focus of a session from Kristen Cox, executive director of the Utah Governor’s Office of Management and Budget. And lastly, Clark Partridge, state comptroller of Arizona and member of the Executive Committee, will lead the popular Emerging Issues Roundtable on the last morning of the conference. In addition to these keynote speakers, there will be more than 20 concurrent sessions covering many of your areas of educational interest and a number of networking events.

Utah is a beautiful state, and I hope you will take this opportunity to explore the many natural, historical and cultural offerings you will find in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. Also, don’t forget: NASACT members in good standing (or their designees) are eligible to receive up to $1,500 to attend this conference. I hope you will take advantage of this travel assistance and join us this August in Utah!
