Event Description

August 10-12, 2025

If you are a member of TEI’s Board of Directors, a Committee Chair, or Chapter President, please join us—in person—for what promises to be an exceptional event, complete with TEI leadership and governance meetings, timely technical, economic, and political briefings, and luncheons with special guest speakers, not to mention several robust social offerings designed to (re)connect you with fellow TEI leaders from around the world. (Members’ spouses and other guests are welcome to attend select meals and social events, as indicated in the meeting agenda.)

AMM is TEI’s annual governance meeting, which impanels the Institute’s officers and Board of Directors. This year, we are excited to offer the following strategic leadership sessions in which you will have the opportunity to help shape TEI’s future and vision:

  • TEI Member Value Workshop
  • TEI Strategic Planning Workshop

In addition, we will have two roundtables enabling you to share perspectives and opportunities with your fellow TEI members:

  • TEI Leader Roundtable – Chapter & Committee Challenges
  • TEI Member Roundtable Discussion – Tax Departments in an Era of Uncertainty

Please note that while our governance meetings will be conducted over Zoom, these workshops and roundtables will held in-person only. If you are unable to attend and would like to send a chapter representative in your stead, please let us know. They will not be able to vote at the governance meetings, but will ensure that your chapter has representation in our workshops.
