PayrollOrg’s Capital Summit 2026 Gears Up for Compliance Leaders

PayrollOrg (formerly the American Payroll Association and Global Payroll Management Institute) is bringing payroll professionals together with government leaders at its 2026 Capital Summit, set for March 16–17 at the Hilton Arlington National Landing Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. The two-day conference focuses on regulatory and compliance issues that shape payroll operations across the U.S.

Direct Access to Federal and State Experts

Capital Summit sessions feature representatives from agencies including the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor, Social Security Administration, U.S. Census Bureau, Government Accountability Office (GAO), and state child support authorities. Attendees gain first-hand insight into evolving regulations, enforcement updates, and best practices for payroll management.

“Capital Summit provides payroll professionals direct access to government leaders and trusted experts,” said Dan Maddux, executive director of PayrollOrg. “Understanding regulatory change is critical to maintaining compliance, managing risk, and supporting employees and organizations.”

Key Topics on the Agenda

The summit covers a wide spectrum of payroll compliance and regulatory concerns:

  • Federal and state child support compliance and reporting

  • Wage and hour rules, enforcement updates, and evolving legislation

  • Payroll tax compliance, including local and multistate considerations

  • Social Security withholding and reporting

  • IRS perspectives, including insights from the Office of Chief Counsel and Stakeholder Liaison

  • Government research and data from GAO and the U.S. Census Bureau

  • Federal payments insights from the Federal Reserve

Professional Development Opportunities

Attendees can earn up to 12 RCHs, 1.20 CEUs, or 14 CPE credits, enhancing both compliance knowledge and professional credentials. On-site registration opens Monday, March 16, at 7:00 a.m. Full details are available at Payroll.org/Summit.
