Natalie Choate’s Speaking Schedule
Here are all my currently booked seminars, by date and location. I hope to see you soon at one of them!
*An asterisk indicates a NEW engagement added since the last update or a seminar with changed information since the last update—such as a new date, topic or contact person.
Additional Natalie Choate pre-recorded webinars not listed here may be offered through Leimberg Information Services and Boston Tax Institute ). Check those sites for current listings.
Note: Seminars are either “LIVE SEMINAR” (in-person event) or “WEBCAST” (webinar broadcast). A webcast is a “live”-type video via Zoom or similar platform unless it is noted as “audio-plus-slides” in which case there is no live video, just voice/audio with some form of prepared visuals. If a “live seminar” has a remote-attendance option that is noted.
ALL SEMINARS AND WEBINARS WILL INCLUDE FINAL IRS SECURE AND PROPOSED SECURE 2.0 RMD REGULATIONS ISSUED JULY 2024
Topics may be subject to change.
