AMPLIFY 2025

Set in the vibrant heart of Austin, Texas, Amplify 2025 brought together Moore member firms and industry experts from 13 different countries to engage in bold conversations, challenge conventional thinking, and strengthen the connections that power progress. From the opening day to the final session, the conference delivered an energizing mix of high-impact content, practical learning, and memorable moments of community.

Where Vision Meets Action
Amplify 2025 kicked off with the ATX Experience, a scavenger-hunt-style event that gave delegates a fun, informal way to meet sponsors, sample local flavors, and get a feel for the creative energy of Austin. That spirit carried into our welcome reception on the Four Seasons lawn, where we celebrated the graduation of Dynamic Growth Academy Cohort 7, recognizing 18 months of leadership development and growth.

Amplifying Purpose Through Service
Our first morning took on special meaning as attendees participated in a service project supporting Moore Social Ambition’s Helping Hands initiative, which aims to transform lives through volunteering. Together, we sorted food at the Central Texas Food Bank—providing over 3,000 meals to Austin’s food-insecure community.

Perspectives that Moved Us Forward
This year’s keynote speakers challenged attendees to think beyond the present and take action toward a stronger, more adaptive future.

Mark Koziel, President and CEO at AICPA and CIMA, delivered an impactful session titled “Leading the Charge: A Vision to Amplify the Profession’s Future.” With a sharp look at today’s unpredictable economic landscape, he spoke candidly about managing uncertainty from the shifting U.S. economic outlook to the evolving impact of tariffs. Koziel emphasized that in a world of increasing complexity, the trusted advisor role has never been more vital.

He also unpacked the hard trends driving long-term change—demographics, regulation, and technology and how firms must prepare for the Forces Shaping the Profession: the evolution of traditional services and firm structures, the strategic leveraging of CPA and CGMA designations, the redefinition of human capital and core competencies, and the emergence of new growth areas. His message was clear: transformation isn’t optional, it’s already here, and firms must be ready to lead it.

Mat Duerden, Department Chair of Experience Design and Management at BYU and Co-Author of Designing Experiences, introduced attendees to the concept of Experience Intelligence (XQ), encouraging firms to become more intentional about shaping how people experience their organization. He emphasized that experiences aren’t just touchpoints, they can be a true competitive advantage when intentionally designed. His session connected strategy with storytelling and left attendees thinking differently about how to create lasting impact.

Moments Worth Capturing
To bring the Amplify experience to life in real time, we partnered with visual notetaker Sara Nuttle, who captured the energy and insights of our sessions through her illustrated boards. Sara’s work offered attendees a vibrant, visual reflection of the ideas being shared, making complex conversations both memorable and shareable.



Built for Real-World Impact
Breakout sessions and panels were designed with business application in mind, and covered topics—from tax strategy, global trade updates, manufacturing supply chain and distribution, to building a global talent pipeline,  global sector updates, and technology and automation.  Each session delivered actionable ideas, and practical insights that attendees could take back to their own firms.   

Why Attend Amplify?
For Moore member firms, Amplify was more than just a conference, it’s where relationships deepened, ideas sparked, and new opportunities arose.
