Green Efforts
In an effort to be mindful about our impact on the environment, TSCPA is looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint. For the Sports & Entertainment Conference, instead of a large notebook containing every conference presentation and supporting materials, you will have the opportunity to help save the environment by accessing some of these documents online.

A special link will be provided to conference registrants via e-mail in advance of the event so you can review and download the materials as needed. This link will remain active for two weeks after the conference.
