Accountancy and advisory firm, Baker Tilly Mooney Moore, will this year welcome delegates from the global Baker Tilly Network to Belfast for a prestigious international Conference.
Baker Tilly International’s EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Regional Conference will take place in Belfast for the first time since its inception 30 years ago. Since the first Summit in 1988, Baker Tilly International has evolved into a $3.6bn organisation with a workforce of 35,000 colleagues, in 746 offices worldwide.
On 10th May, Belfast will host delegates for the five-day conference which will be held at the Europa Hotel, with gala events held at various other venues including Belfast City Hall and Titanic Belfast.
Organisers expect the conference to attract around 250 delegates from around the world to take part in the packed programme of technical sessions, collaborative meetings, thought leadership and motivational keynotes.
Ted Verkade, Baker Tilly International CEO said: “This year’s highly anticipated EMEA Conference represents the beginning of a dynamic next chapter for our network, as members from around the world gather in Northern Ireland to collaborate and share expertise.”
Murray Watt, Regional Director, EMEA continued: “I am excited to be working with Baker Tilly Mooney Moore as hosts of our 2019 EMEA Conference. Belfast is the perfect choice as a vibrant, fast growing economy that reflects our own focus on growth. A key element of our conferences is relationship building. The warm-welcome and personal approach I have experienced from our colleagues in Belfast will provide the perfect backdrop to foster closer relationships. I would also like to acknowledge, and thank, Visit Belfast for their support in building a programme that allows us to experience the City together at its finest.”
Rachael McGuickin, Director of Business Development at Visit Belfast, added: “We are delighted that Belfast has been chosen as the host city for Baker Tilly International’s EMEA Regional Conference. The event will make a significant contribution to the city’s growing tourism economy so we are grateful to Baker Tilly Mooney Moore for working with us to bring the conference to the city.
“Belfast is an award-winning events destination, so we look forward to welcoming the delegates to the city later this year and showing them everything Belfast has to offer.”
Baker Tilly International is also proud to unveil a new logo, visual identity and new purpose – Now, for tomorrow – as part of the ongoing evolution of the Baker Tilly brand. Baker Tilly Mooney Moore will encompass the new brand identity which is aimed at strengthening and modernising how the global business represents its network to its clients, people, profession and the communities in which it operates.
