Both Karen and Teresa were recently honored in Accounting Today Magazine's 2015 list of the Top 100 Most Influential Industry Thought Leaders. Guest Keynote Speakers Every year, the CCH (News - Alert) Connections User Conference attracts the best and the brightest speakers to share their insights and perspectives with attendees. This year's speakers include: Geoffrey Moore: Known as a speaker who "has yet to meet a microphone he didn't like," Geoffrey Moore's life's work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. His first book, "Crossing the Chasm," focuses on the challenges startup companies face transitioning from early adopting to mainstream customers. It has sold more than a million copies, and is now in its third edition. Moore's most recent work, "Escape Velocity," addresses the challenge large enterprises face when they seek to add a new line of business to their established portfolio. A popular theme in his presentations addresses the transition in enterprise IT investment focus from systems of record to systems of engagement. His strategic advice around understanding the impact of systems of engagement and focusing on return on innovation is designed to deliver keys points enabling audiences to look at their company's or firm's future in a new light. Among the companies that have sought his expertise as a consultant include Intel, Microsoft (News - Alert) and Salesforce. Josh Linkner: In subscribing to the theory that "creativity and innovation are the lifeblood of all human progress," Josh Linkner has spent his career harnessing the spirit of creative disruption. As a four-time successful tech entrepreneur, keynote speaker and CEO, Linkner delivers a clear call to action - it's better to innovate and disrupt your organization before your competition does. Furthermore, Linkner believes the riskiest move companies can make today is hugging the status quo - believing the future will be like the past is the fast road to obsolescence. Linkner is the Founder and former CEO of ePrize, the world's largest interactive promotion agency that provides digital marketing services for 74 of the top 100 brands. Prior to ePrize, he was founder/CEO of three other successful technology companies. Each of his four startups eventually grew to a combined value of over $200 million. His extraordinary business accomplishments led him to be honored twice as the Ernst & Young "Entrepreneur of the Year" and as a President Barack Obama "Champion of Change" Award recipient. His first book, "Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity," was a New York Times bestseller and named one of 2011's top ten business titles by Amazon.com (News - Alert). His most recent book, "The Road to Reinvention: How to Drive Disruption and Accelerate Transformation," was also a New York Times bestseller. Linkner has also been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review and The New York Times. Need a Good Reason to Attend? How About Five?
