The event begins with registration that morning at 11:30 a.m. with lunch and presentations beginning at 12 p.m. The event concludes with a wine and cheese reception at 5:15 p.m.

Christina Callahan, executive director of Syracuse Regional Airport Authority, which operates Syracuse Hancock International Airport, is the event’s keynote speaker. She will discuss the airport’s terminal-improvement project and its impact on Central New York.

In addition, Dannible’s managing partner, Michael Reilly, CPA, will provide a federal tax update for businesses. Karl Jacob, CPA, partner-in-charge of tax services at Dannible, will provide a federal tax update for individuals.
