Sessions

  1. Scale Smarter: The Tools That Grow With Your Business Presented by Intuit

    Wed, Nov 4, 2:15 PM – 3:15 PM CT

    Track Artificial Intelligence

    Growth breaks the systems that got you started. Spreadsheets stop keeping up. Manual work eats your week. Decisions slip because you cannot see your numbers. In this session, we show you how the right tools help entrepreneurs, founders, and small and mid-sized business owners scale. Hear a moderated panel on when to upgrade your tools, what to automate first, and the next step as your business grows (including Intuit Enterprise Suite). Then watch a live demo of AI doing real work: invoicing, categorizing transactions, and answering cash flow questions in plain language. Every attendee leaves with a unique code to start a trial and test it on your own business.
