The Conference of Accountants evolved from a series of annual meetings first held in 1947 and initiated by the late Professor Paul J. Graber.  The Conference is hosted by The University of Tulsa and directed by representatives of the co-sponsoring professional organizations, an advisory board, and the TU School of Accounting and Management Information Systems.
