As a first-gen Guatemalan student, attending my first ALPFA Convention gave me empowerment I didn’t think possible. I came home ready to give back to my community.”

This intentional pipeline development is what makes ALPFA indispensable: we meet students early, prepare them to lead, and connect them directly to employers who can shape their futures. As these students advance, they join a broader community of professionals who continue to grow with ALPFA.
Advancing Careers at Every Stage
From early-career professionals building skills to executives shaping strategy, Convention offered a platform for growth, influence, and connection.
EDUCATION LEVEL CAREER LEVEL
This was my first year attending ALPFA, and I had the chance to connect with many incredible people in the conference halls and sessions. It was inspiring to hear their “why” and to finally meet colleagues I’ve worked with for years but had never met in person. Having uninterrupted time to chat and even collaborate on projects was invaluable. I’m looking forward to returning next year and expanding my connections beyond PwC.
