Pacific Tax Policy Conference 2026

The Fifteenth Annual Pacific Tax Policy Conference is a two-day conference bringing international tax policy and management issues to the forefront of corporate tax leaders and tax professionals, focusing on the Pacific Rim arena.

The audience comprises high level corporate tax directors, tax counsels and tax managers as well as international and U.S. government personnel.

The event will take place Thursday, May 14–Friday, May 15, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, located at 5 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California, USA.

In our conversations with practitioners and corporate representatives, we’ve seen strong enthusiasm for an Asia-Pacific government conference. The interest reflects the growing business and tax focus across Pacific Rim economies. We expect the meeting to fill quickly, with participants fully engaged in the sessions, and we anticipate meaningful coverage from the business press.
