A Message from the Global Chair,
Bill Sims, SST Accountants & Consultants

 

Our Global Conference in Ottawa was a tremendous success. The feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive—everyone enjoyed the excellent speakers, engaging sessions, and memorable social events. It was truly wonderful to catch up with old friends and to welcome new colleagues into the Integra community. A special thank-you to our host firm, HW Partners, for their warm hospitality and support throughout the event.

I would also like to extend a warm congratulations to Basswood Counsel, our 2025 Firm of the Year. This recognition reflects their outstanding contributions, strong engagement, and continued support of Integra. We appreciate their commitment and are proud to celebrate this achievement with them.

Looking ahead, our 2026 conferences have been confirmed—please save the dates. The AAANZ Regional Conference will take place in San Diego, USA from May 14–16, 2026. The EMEIA Regional Conference will be held in Malta in June 2026, with exact dates to be announced. Our Global Conference is scheduled for October 22–24, 2026 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Our conferences play a vital role in the fabric of our association. In-person participation offers unmatched opportunities to form stronger relationships, exchange knowledge, and reinforce the international relationships that define Integra.

As many of you know, my time as Global Chair is coming to an end. It has been an honor to serve in this role, and I appreciate the support and collaboration from members over the past two years. I am pleased to share that Olivier Lefebvre has been elected Global Chair for 2026–2027. Please join me in congratulating Olivier—he will serve Integra with great dedication, and I wish him every success in his new role.

Thank you once again for your commitment throughout my term. I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season, and I look forward to seeing you all in 2026!
