Great event to emphasize on the technology. There were some great thoughts that were put forth by speakers.
Couldn’t have been better…the experience was great, the authors spoke exceedingly well.
It gave me a sense of satisfaction after being here for two days. And now I have an idea about how and when should I use this technology for my small business.
It was an attempt to encourage more and more people to adopt QuickBooks. The conference went well, the final outcome results will tell.
Three days were a great treat for a QuickBooks user. It makes you realize the power of this technology and what it has in store for the future.
It might come across as a very high profile conference but in the core of it. It was just an informative event. Though the ticket was very expensive.
Just loved the whole experience altogether, it had everything one can expect out of an informative platform.
There were so many great achievers in that conference. It was a great occasion.
