scaling new heights conference
In June of 2012, we attended our first annual Scaling New Heights Conference. Joe Woodard, the Conference Host decribes Scaling New Heights as a unique, Intuit-centric training experience that provides practical and in-depth professional education, networking opportunities among the nation's most successful QuickBooks consultants and resources that empower us to:
Master Intuit products and selected products that integrate with QuickBooks
Expand the consulting services that we offer to our clients
Grow our practice
Maximize professional relations
Scaling New Heights is considered by many to be the nation's premier training event for Intuit and QuickBooks Advisors. Hundreds of QuickBooks Pro Advisors and Intuit Solution Providers were there, and we were excited to be a part of this awesome event!
welcome to nashville, tennessee
All of the the attendees stayed at the Marriot Renaissance Hotel right in the heart of Nashville. The hotel was gorgeous and the accomodations comfortable, and the hotel staff made us all feel welcome and right at home.
Our first night there, we stepped out on the streets of Nashville and had dinner at Rippy's where I think we may have tasted some of the best pulled pork ever! As we ate, we were "seranaded" by a live band playing, but of course, country music to welcome us to the country music capital of the world.
