Business Pioneers and Entrepreneurs, Jennifer

QuickBooks Connect is returning to San Jose,
Calif. Nov. 6-8, with three days of non-stop learning and growth
opportunities for all attendees. With an exciting lineup of main
stage speakers and educational breakout sessions, QuickBooks
Connect will offer personalized help and expertise tailored to
future-proofing the businesses of those in attendance, including
accountants, developers, self-employed individuals and small
business owners.
Main Stage Speakers Unveiled
This year’s main stage features well-known business pioneers and
entrepreneurs who have turned their passions into thriving
businesses. The initial lineup that will join the main stage this
year include:
- Jennifer Hyman, Co-Founder and CEO of Rent the Runway: Ms.
Hyman co-founded Rent the Runway, a company that is disrupting the
$2.4 trillion fashion industry by building a closet in the cloud
and powering women to feel their best every day. Recently valued at
one billion dollars, Rent the Runway is one of the few
female-founded, female-led companies in history to reach this
milestone. Ms. Hyman is a mission-driven leader and as the CEO, has
built Rent the Runway from an idea into a profitable, high-growth
company and one of the most beloved brands in the U.S.
Additionally, Ms. Hyman launched the Rent the Runway Foundation in
2015 to help female entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. build
scalable, high-growth companies.
- Jade Simmons, rockstar concert pianist: As a one-of-a-kind
artist who has garnered diverse recognition from unlikely places,
Ms. Simmons has played renowned halls, including the White House
and the U.S. Supreme Court. Her genre-bending concert adventures
span Rachmanioff to rap and attracts diverse audiences of all ages
and backgrounds. Off the stage, Essence Magazine featured Ms.
Simmons alongside former First Lady Michelle Obama as a part of
their Style & Substance List. She is one of the rare classical
artists invited to perform at the taste-making South by Southwest
Festival, where her show was ultimately branded as the “Best of
SXSW 2014.” Beyond her career as a pianist, Ms. Simmons hosts two
radio shows on American Public Media and NYC’s WCXR.
Additional main stage speakers will be announced in the weeks
ahead.
Informational Breakout Sessions and Workshops for All

Beyond the inspiration on the main stage, QuickBooks Connect
will provide 80+ interactive workshops and breakout sessions
specifically designed to deliver actionable insights that can be
implemented immediately to drive growth and success. In fact, 98

Martinez or a meetup hosted by Ellen Mars focused on building
connections and the core principles of relationship marketing,
sessions cover a breadth of topics and will inform, educate and
inspire attendees.
