-
Meet the Intuit Developer Group Team: Want to meet David Leary in person? He’ll be there! What about Jarred Keneally, Lori Fraleigh, Jo Peach and the entire Intuit Developer Relations team? They’ll be there too! Come to QuickBooks Connect and the Developer Hackathon and meet Intuit Developer Marketers, Developer Relations, Product Managers and Development, Business Development, and of course, Avi Golan, our super rad leader of the Intuit Developer Group. We’re rolling deep to this event and we can’t wait to meet you, too.
-
Connect with Intuit Accountants: This year, we’re planning dedicated time between developers and accountants so you can receive on-the-spot feedback of your app or app idea. There’s no better (or easier!) way to make sure you’re developing an app that solves real customer problems than running it by the people who face these issues every day. They’ll give you invaluable insights and suggestions to make your app even more useful to customers. Plus, if they like what they see, you’re on your way to building a recommendation or reseller engine.
-
Move past a blocker w/ onsite tech experts: Have a problem that you can’t quite solve and wish you could have a 1:1 meeting with an Intuit engineer? The hackathon is the place to make this happen. The Intuit Developer team of product and technical support engineers will be onsite around the clock (literally all day and all night) for the duration of the hackathon to provide the support you need.
