This one-day conference, consisting of two half-day sessions and a special event for self-employed workers, is bringing together all types of small businesses under one roof, helping to propel their businesses forward.

QuickBooks won’t be alone – the company is coming to The Big Peach with mobile payment and shopping platform partners Square and Bigcommerce, converging on the city’s eclectic small business hub to bring great value to attendees. Small businesses will get hands-on advice from senior Intuit executives, as well as Apprentice winner Bill Rancic, technology entrepreneur Jason Nazar and USA Today small business columnist Rhonda Abrams.

As part of the event, QuickBooks will be hosting an evening session targeted at self-employed workers, with tips for success in the on-demand service marketplace (services like Lyft and TaskRabbit) and networking opportunities with fellow self-employed professionals.

Attendees at #QBConnect Atlanta will have access to breakout sessions focused on:

  • Financial Fitness – fundamental tools for finance and understanding your bottom line
