It is my pleasure to provide you with the first notice about the 2019 TEI Region VIII Annual Conference to be held at the beautiful and recently renovated Westin Hilton Head Resort. The 2019 Region VIII Conference begins Wed. evening June 26 and ends Sunday morning June 30, 2019. The Westin has provided us with an exceptional rate, free internet, free parking and other amenities.

The conference will once again follow the familiar pattern of an opening reception on Wednesday evening, technical sessions beginning on Thursday at 1:00 pm and on Friday and Saturday at 7:00 am. An audit roundtable discussion is planned for Sunday at 9:00 am. There will be a golf tournament on Friday at 1:30 and there will also be many cocktail parties and receptions during the conference. As a thank you to TEI members who attended with their spouse at the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2018 TEI Region VIII Conference, please bring them for free again this year!!!

The technical sessions will qualify for over 20 hours of NASBA qualified CPE and CLE for certain states, and will include timely topics presented by some of the best speakers in their fields and in government including: Eric Tresh, Handy Hevener, Hank Gutman, Jean Pawlaw, Matt Lerner, Andrew Prior, Sam Kaywood and many others.
