The 2021 BDO PPN Forum

Join us in October!

Each year, we bring together our valued PPN Members, respected BDO professionals and visionary leaders to help us successfully prepare for the challenges we face in the year ahead – and beyond. This year, for the health and safety of our members and guests, we will again offer our conference in an optional virtual format, as well as a long awaited in-person get together.

Join us either for the fully catered conference, or the live-streamed online event on from Friday 8th October to Saturday 9th October.

This year the theme of the Forum is Rethink.

With the trials and tribulations experienced in 2020, perhaps the most meaningful lesson learned is that the world is truly changing – now, more than ever. We have been challenged to respond to the pandemic within our own firms and alongside our clients too. We learned adaptation. We learned resiliency. We learned how to Rethink our approach to a variety of circumstances. And maybe to our surprise, we are now doing some of the things we never thought we would - or could - do before. Now is the time to continue reassessing our business models - we have a unique opportunity to Rethink the future of our firms, to continue the journey of ensuring our success in today’s new reality.
