Best-selling Author, Journalist Malcolm
Gladwell Signed as Main Stage Speaker
QuickBooks Connect is returning to San Jose, Calif., on Oct.
24-26 and will be bigger than ever – offering attendees more main
stage speakers, increasing the number of breakout sessions and
adding programming tailored to self-employed individuals.
In addition, author of five New York Times best-selling books
and journalist Malcolm Gladwell will be featured as a main stage
speaker, sharing his insights on the roots of and psychology behind
success. Named one of the 100 most influential people by TIME
Magazine and one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers, Gladwell
brings a wealth of knowledge on how businesses and individuals can
elevate their thinking and accelerate success.
Now in its third year, QuickBooks Connect, sponsored by Intuit
Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), maintains the same goal: to unite thousands of
diverse audience members under one roof to connect, learn and be
inspired by powerful, relevant speakers, experiences and content.
QuickBooks Connect will provide the information and advice they
need to build, run and grow a business with a dynamic ecosystem of
experts, partners, tools and workshops. Registration for the event
is now open at www.QuickBooksConnect.com.
“I’m married to a small business owner and entrepreneur, so I
see the challenges small business owners face daily and know how
the broad set of resources offered at QuickBooks Connect can truly
make a difference in their businesses and in their lives,” said
Karen Peacock, senior vice president of small business at Intuit.
“We want to create an environment to inspire, educate and connect
small businesses, developers, accountants and those who are
self-employed. We can help them build their expertise and fuel
success.”
Tailored Breakout Sessions
In addition to main stage presentations, QuickBooks Connect will
provide workshops and breakout sessions created specifically for
the event’s diverse attendees, including small businesses,
accountants and developers. This year, the event will also feature
an additional track customized for self-employed individuals to
help them navigate the ever-changing business and regulatory
landscape. Breakout sessions will be organized into four audiences
and based on stages of businesses – Build, Run, Grow and Connect –
designed to benefit attendees from a business of one to those who
have a few dozen employees:
- Small Business Owners and
Entrepreneurs: Two days of sessions, doubled from previous
years, will provide small business owners and entrepreneurs
opportunities to hear from successful founders and investors,
equipping them with knowledge and real-life stories designed to
help them propel their business to the next level.
- Self-employed: A newly added
track to this year’s agenda, these unique sessions will help the
burgeoning workforce of consultants and on-demand workers learn how
to attract more customers, gain steady income and painlessly
organize their finances.
- Accounting Professionals:
Immersive sessions, training and certification courses will help
accounting professionals evolve their practice, prepare for the
future and be an even more valuable resource and advisor to their
small business clients.
- Developers: In-depth sessions
will enable developers to build solutions for today and
beyond, while hands-on tutorials and one-on-one support from the
Intuit Developer team will accelerate app development and aid those
interested in publishing apps on the QuickBooks App Store. For
developers who publish a small business app on the QuickBooks App
Store between Jan. 1 and Aug. 15 of this year, there’s an
opportunity to compete in the Small Business App
Showdown and vie for a $100k grand prize. Developers are also
invited to participate in the annual QuickBooks Connect
Hackathon, where teams will be challenged to create innovations
that leverage the latest in small business technology.
