“The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Get Connected,’ and I think anyone would tell you that getting connected with other leading professionals is one of the greatest benefits of the CCH User Conference,” said Sabbatis. “Whether the topic is connecting with colleagues to leverage expertise, connecting applications to streamline workflow and knowledge sharing or connecting remotely to work, someone there can share practical insights and best practices that you can apply and benefit from immediately.
