Similar to the “Have you hit the wall?” interactive survey at last year’s conference, this year CCH is askign attendees to respond to questions posted on a new User Conference App. Instead of placing logos on a wall, attendees can easily mark responses on their tablets and smart phones and then see the results on a large video display.

On the first day of the conference, CCH asked the following questions with the responses shown:

Q: What challenge do you most hope to tackle in 2015:

  • Attracting/retaining talent – 27 %
  • Developing future leaders – 17%

Q: How often do you contact clients about new tax developments?

  • Once a year – 20%
  • Twice a year – 14%
