Eeeek!

Tomorrow over 3,500 accounting professionals and fintech partners are heading to #QBConnect, Las Vegas.

I am so looking forward to seeing old friends there, and meeting some of you IRL for the first time.

I will be overwhelmed, of course - in a great way - as will many of you.

The sheer size of this event, the excitement of it all, the fact that I will be running on too little sleep (not that I love after-parties or anything…)!

Gah, it’s gunna be crazy-good times!

I really want to meet all of you who are there! But be warned, I may have the stun-bunny thing going on. I’m sure I won’t be the only one…

Please - come up to me, introduce yourself, don’t be shy!

And have grace if it takes me a hot minute to put your real life self together with your social media self!

So what’s going to be so great at #QBConnect2022?

• Ah-mazing sessions

• After-parties

  - on Wednesday, December 7 from 1:00 - 3:00pm in the Starvine 11, Breakout Room 7.

• I am moderating a panel of very cool APIAs** - Working With Your Ideal Client - Thursday, December 8 from 3:00 - 4:00pm in the Starvine 12&13, Breakout Room 6.

• I am a part of a Braindate - Graceful Endings, Disengaging Clients - on Friday, December 9 from 1:00 - 1:45 in the Braindate area.

  • I can not imagine my life without the tech I lean heavily on, and I love spending time at their booths chatting with them.

  • In particular, I will be a groupie at the Financial Cents booth.

This is a meca event for many of us, where we get to gig on all things accounting & Intuit and so many of us are excited to be a part of it!

Ryan Lazanis has a blog out, QuickBooks Connect: Everything You Need to Know, that has some great throwback moments!

Including this fun shot of Canadian early cloud industry leaders hanging out at #QBConnect2014.

The ConnectCPA founders Mike Pinkus and Lior Zehtser, LiveCA’s Chad Davis, Ryan and the Hubdoc (now A2X) Jamies.

And at the bottom of this page is a gallery of past accounting industry events.

See if you can spot yourself in any of these photos!

Simply yours, Kellie :-}

::Shameless Call To Action::

I sell bookkeeping templates, standard operating process handbooks and client guides.

*Even if they are full on the Connect App, come a few minutes early and see if you can get in. Often spots open up 5 minutes before, which is the cut off when no-shows’ seats are replaced with people in the waiting area.
