About This Show
AI-drafted, editor-verifiedThe Boomer Circle Summit is an annual, members-only conference for the accounting profession, hosted by Boomer Consulting, Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri. The Summit brings together members of all of Boomer Consulting's peer communities—leaders from across the accounting profession—to discuss top challenges and opportunities and help create alignment across all areas of an accounting firm: leadership, process, talent, growth and technology.
The event is designed to provide accounting and advisory professionals with practical education focused on leadership, strategy, innovation, and operational improvement within accounting firms. Partners, managers, C-suite leaders and staff members benefit from the experience and knowledge of the thought leaders and speakers.
Attendees return with actionable takeaways to drive firm-wide change. By connecting with other leaders in the accounting profession, attendees can learn what has and hasn't worked for other firms, sharpen their leadership skills, build a better understanding of top issues and opportunities and get inspired by thought leaders. Because the Summit is exclusive to Circle members, firms interested in attending should contact Boomer Consulting's Solutions Team about membership.
Show Highlights
The Summit's program centers on several signature formats:
- Dynamic Keynotes – top thought leaders who inspire change and innovation in the accounting profession.
- Expert-Led Sessions – specialized sessions tailored to meet the unique needs of each Boomer Circle.
- Peer Networking – connect and share insights with leaders from firms across the country.
- Hands-On Workshops – practical tools and techniques to implement immediately within your firm.
- Actionable Takeaways – clear strategies and tools to drive immediate impact in your firm.
The Summit features some of the profession's top experts and thought leaders, and during keynote sessions, workshops, breakouts and deep-dive content blocks their ideas inspire attendees to continue navigating a rapidly changing profession and lay the foundation for stronger cross-functional collaboration. An on-site Exhibitor Hall lets sponsors and exhibitors showcase products and services designed for the accounting profession. The Summit also hosts the annual Boomer Visionary Awards, which recognize firms and solution providers for advancing leadership, talent, growth, process and technology in the accounting profession.
Attendance
According to the organizer, 500+ attendees in 2025 left the Summit with actionable strategies to implement firm-wide change, and hundreds of firms rely on the community to share ideas, solve challenges and drive progress. The audience is composed of leaders from accounting firms—partners, managers, C-suite leaders and staff—drawn from Boomer Consulting's peer communities covering leadership, process, talent, growth and technology.
Registration
The Boomer Circle Summit is a members-only event. As listed on the official site, registration is closed for 2026, and only current Boomer Circle members may register.

The organizer outlines three simple steps for members:
- Register yourself and your team – bring key leaders from across your firm to maximize collaboration and impact.
- Attend and engage – participate in tailored sessions, connect with peers, and gain actionable tools and insights.
- Collaborate and align – strengthen networks with peers and vendors, and leave with a clear plan for firm-wide success.
History
The Summit grew out of Boomer Consulting's long-running peer-community meetings. As CEO Jim Boomer noted, the annual Boomer Technology Circles Summit had always been a strong event, and with members of other communities requesting joint meetings, it made sense to evolve the Summit into a central meeting point for all Circle members. Boomer Consulting announced the next evolution of the Boomer Circle Summit from Kansas City, MO in August 2023. The first annual Boomer Circle Summit brought together members from all of the firm's Circle communities, and the event has continued annually in Kansas City, with 500+ attendees reported in 2025.
