The Small Business App Showdown isn’t the only exciting event happening during the conference. QuickBooks Connect is an annual gathering that brings accountants, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and developers all under the same roof. Creating connections is paramount at the conference and this is accomplished by having an inspiring lineup of speakers like Shonda Rhimes and Nate Berkus, creating interactive environments for networking like transforming a portion of convention center into a park for relaxing dialogue and informative breakout sessions with ample time for discussion afterward.
