Channel Futures' parent company, Informa Tech, bought analyst firm Canalys last fall, which means that we are fortunate enough to get Canalys' esteemed analysts on our keynote stage at Channel Partners/MSP Summit.
Case in point: Canalys' Alastair Edwards participated in our Hot Data segment, focusing on the future of distribution.
As he told the crowd, channel leaders need to understand the changing value proposition of distribution as the industry pivots to SaaS, software and cloud services.
Co-selling was the topic of a panel moderated by Canalys chief analyst Jay McBain.
Partners in the audience learned how to capitalize on the co-selling trend so they can take sales to new heights.
The Future of Connectivity and Security was the topic of a keynote led by title sponsor T-Mobile for Business.
T-Mobile channel leader Paul Spencer (left) unveiled the company's plans for a 5G connected laptop; then he welcomed colleagues Debbie Wishart and Chris Melus to the stage to talk about the intersection of 5G networks, the SASE security model and the secure technology embedded in the connected laptop.
We brought some heavy-hitters on stage as part of an expert panel called "Beyond the Hype: Talking Reality with Today's Channel Leaders."
These senior execs discussed growth opportunities for partners in 2024. They chimed in on where they are investing today to produce real results. They also gave examples of partner success, best practices, program innovations and more.
Channel Futures senior news editor James Anderson (left) had a one-on-one conversation with Scott Kinka, chief strategy officer at Bridgepointe Technologies, about the company's business model, its recent acquisitions and its success in the market.
In this "Channel Futures Conversation," T-Mobile for Business senior vice president George Fischer (right) talked with Channel Futures editorial director Craig Galbraith about everything from Fischer's background in the channel, to artificial intelligence and connectivity, to practical advice for parthers in the audience young and old.
T-Mobile wasn't the only wireless giant getting time on stage Tuesday.
Verizon channel leader Mark Tina went beyond the nuts and bolts of technology and business to talk about how creating a shared vision through world-class tech and transparency amplifies opportunities, catalyzes growth and drives innovation.
Motivational speaker David Nour did much more than encourage the audience's success.
In his presentation, "The Consequences of AI on Enterprise Relationships," Nour discussed the consequences of AI that require a steadfast stewardship of the desired outcomes to ensure the benefits of AI also mitigate the potential drawbacks.
Nour shared what he has learned about the power and promise of AI in business and provided practical and actionable insights for every type of leader excited about what's possible with AI.
