In a recent Appy Hour episode, Heather and Liz pivoted from their planned firm spotlight to host a lively discussion about the upcoming Intuit Connect conference, featuring special guests Mathew Fulton and Candy Bellau. Here’s a breakdown of their insights and tips:
A Pivot and a Countdown to Intuit Connect
Originally planning to spotlight a firm affected by the recent hurricane, Heather and Liz instead used the episode to share a countdown to Intuit Connect. With red wine in hand, they discussed the sessions and sponsors, setting the stage for what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable event.
Special Guest Mathew Fulton Shares Productivity Insights
Mathew Fulton, fresh from his QB Power Hour appearance, joined to offer insights on productivity and security. He noted how large firms are setting up primary account passwords to simplify transitions when team members leave, a strategic move that could benefit many firms.
Exciting Features of the New Intuit Connect App
Heather and Liz expressed excitement about Intuit Connect’s new app, pointing out its interactive “Quest” feature designed to engage attendees and make navigating the conference more fun. They also spotlighted some can’t-miss speakers, including Kelly Gonsalves, Lynda Artesani, and Dawn Brolin.
Festive Vibes: Halloween Costumes and Tutu Tuesday
Candy Bellau joined in with her Halloween costume plans, which include a watermelon outfit, a Grinch costume, and a tutu for Tutu Tuesday. The Halloween theme is adding a festive twist to this year’s Intuit Connect, making it even more memorable for attendees.
Balancing Sessions and Networking at Intuit Connect
In discussing how to get the most out of a busy conference, Heather, Liz, Mathew, and Candy emphasized the importance of intentional planning. Instead of trying to attend every session, they recommended choosing a few key talks, apps to explore, and social events. “It’s okay to miss a few sessions,” they advised, encouraging attendees to leave space for relaxation and organic connections.
Ready to Connect!
Heather and Liz closed with excitement about seeing everyone at Intuit Connect, eager to hear everyone’s plans and Halloween costume ideas. This year’s event promises a blend of learning, networking, and festive fun!
