Intuit Announces New Speakers Slated for
Silicon Valley Event
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU) today announced the addition of
Shaquille O’Neal to the main stage agenda of QuickBooks Connect, to
be held Oct. 24-26 in San Jose, Calif.
The company also announced additional speakers for the Small
Business Owners and Entrepreneurs breakout session track at the
conference, including entrepreneur Bill Rancic, USA Today columnist
Rhonda Abrams and Death Wish Coffee owner Mike Brown, winner of
this year’s QuickBooks’ Small Business Big Game campaign. The
conference returns to the San Jose Convention Center for its third
year with the goal of uniting thousands of diverse audience members
from around the globe to connect, learn and be inspired by a
dynamic lineup of speakers.
Main Stage Inspiration
A cultural icon, O’Neal is best known for an NBA career spanning
nearly two decades – a 15-time NBA All-Star and member of the Hall
of Fame. O’Neal has also established himself as a powerful media
personality, entrepreneur and businessman over the years. Ranked
among “The 100 Most Creative People in Business” by Fast Company,
he had the first verified Twitter account and is currently an NBA
analyst on TNT’s Emmy-award winning show “Inside the NBA.”
In addition to being an early investor in companies such as
Google, O’Neal has managed an increasingly robust personal brand,
which has included television shows, a shoe line and tech products.
Philanthropically, his relationship with the Boys & Girls Clubs
of America dates back to his youth, and he’s been a national
spokesperson for the nonprofit organization for the past 15
years.
Educational Breakout Session Speakers
In addition to main stage appearances, QuickBooks Connect will
feature breakout sessions developed with its varied audience
members in mind. The Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs track
– one of four created for the conference – will provide content
designed to help attendees propel their business to the next level.
Speakers announced today include:
- Rancic, returning to QuickBooks
Connect to ignite attendees’ entrepreneurial spirit through his
personal journey as a small business owner. In addition to being
the winner of the first season of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” he is a
real estate developer, co-owner of three restaurants, co-owner of
Xo, G Wine and the author of multiple books.
- Abrams, widely recognized as one
of the nation’s foremost experts on entrepreneurship and business
planning, has helped millions of entrepreneurs launch and grow
their businesses, in part with her weekly small business column in
USA Today. Her best-selling book, “Successful Business Plan:
Secrets & Strategies,” has sold more than one million
copies.
- Brown, sharing his journey as a
small business owner, will discuss what’s happened since February’s
Big Game commercial and detail how he’s scaled his business for
worldwide growth. As an accountant-turned-entrepreneur, Brown knows
what it takes to start, run and grow a small business – and how to
stand out from the crowd.
