Past CONFERENCE: 5 KEY PERSPECTIVES YOU CAN LEARN FROM OTHER PROFESSIONS AND DISCIPLINES ABOUT TAX POLICY

On Friday, September 29, 2006 the Office of Tax Policy Research partnered with the National Tax Association to sponsor a conference that featured a unique agenda and format. Over 150 people gathered in Washington, D.C. to attend “5 Key Perspectives You Can Learn from Other Professions and Disciplines about Tax Policy.” An exceptional lineup of participants – tax journalists, tax administrators, business tax professionals, tax accountants, tax economists, and tax lawyers – provided an extraordinary variety of perspectives and expertise on tax policy. Tax Analysts provided funding for the event.
