KPMG named official sponsor and speaker at IIA GAM March conference

KPMG appears on event materials as an official sponsor and participant for the Institute of Internal Auditors Great Audit Minds Conference, with firm-led sessions listed for March 10, 2025 in Orlando. KPMG’s events page states, “KPMG is delighted to be an official sponsor of the IIA’s 2025 GAM Conference. taking place from March 10 to 12 in the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida,” and lists three March 10 sessions including “Audit Analytics and AI in Action—The Braze Story” at 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. ET and again at 4:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. ET, “AI for Audit: Graduating from GenAI to Contextual Intelligence” at 1:30 p.m.–2:45 p.m. ET, and “Getting Analytics Right: How to Take Your D&A Program to New Heights” at 4:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m. ET.

A LinkedIn post from Pamela Ruffing, MBA, reiterates KPMG’s sponsorship and invites attendees to the Orlando program, naming Braze, Disney, and Capital One among featured organizations. Ruffing’s post reads, “KPMG is thrilled to be an official sponsor of the IIA’s 2025 GAM Conference in Orlando, Florida, from March 10 to 12. Join us for insightful sessions on audit analytics, AI integration, and cybersecurity, featuring experts from Braze, Disney, Capital One, and more.”

KPMG’s session copy provides topic detail but does not list speaker names in the excerpts captured. The Braze session blurb says, “Join the internal audit team from Braze as they demonstrate how they are reducing risk and driving improved business performance by integrating analytics into the audit process and sharing those analytics with the 1st line.” The AI session copy frames the program this way: “AI is progressively reshaping the audit landscape, offering both significant opportunities and new challenges for audit teams. Many teams have already begun integrating generative AI (GenAI) into their daily workflows. But how can you go beyond the initial, easy wins and elevate AI integration and adoption to seamlessly align with your work processes?”

Separately, the IIA’s Sponsorship & Exhibition Prospectus lists GAM dates and location for March 9-11, 2026 at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and lays out sponsor pricing and benefits. The prospectus states, “Great Audit Minds Conference (GAM) is the essential experience for audit executives seeking to be influential, indispensable, and informed,” and includes price lines such as Keynote $25,000; 60‑Minute Concurrent Session $20,000; Innovation Session $12,500; Women’s Roundtable $5,000; Mobile App $10,000; and NEW - Turnkey Kiosks - $6,950. The turnkey kiosk package is specified in full as including a 1M wide x 8' high kiosk with graphics, a 1M wide storage cabinet, a barstool, and a 43" monitor. The prospectus also notes, “All Sponsors Receive: Recognition in Program / Recognition on Website / Recognition on Signage Onsite.”

The public records present a date and location discrepancy: KPMG materials and the Ruffing LinkedIn post refer to GAM March 10–12, 2025 in Orlando, while the IIA prospectus documents GAM March 9–11, 2026 in Las Vegas. An early-March-2026 capture of KPMG’s Events & Webcasts hub also shows KPMG listed as an official sponsor and participant, but that capture is truncated and does not clarify whether it references the 2025 Orlando program or a 2026 commitment. KPMG’s public listings show firm staff presenting on audit analytics and AI at GAM Orlando in March 2025; the IIA’s prospectus documents the organizer’s 2026 sponsorship packages and Las Vegas dates, leaving the scope of KPMG’s 2026 GAM commitments to be confirmed.
