Surprises do happen at QuickBooks Connect, and I can say that I am surprised. I just had published an article about the $100,000 App Showdown Finalists anxiously awaiting the announcement of the winner, scheduled for tomorrow (according to contest information). Here it is a day early and the winner was announced from the Main Stage.
Intuit's Sasan Goodarzi presents Regis Malloy with the $100,000 Grand Prize for the 2018 App Showdown.
