Top Moments from the Record-Smashing Channel Partners Conference & Expo

That headline isn’t hyperbole. This week’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo and co-located MSP Summit broke just about every record on the books.

It’s no secret that most of the channel has thrived during the pandemic. The shift to work-from-anywhere and now the continuing – and seemingly permanent – adjustment to hybrid work strategies has fueled a revolution in technology and, as a result, technology sales — particularly in the indirect sales channel.

Therefore, as the channel continues to grow, so does the world’s largest independent channel event. After registering 6,200 for CP Expo – matching our pre-pandemic record – just five months ago, we shattered that number this week. More than 7,400 of you signed up this time around — that’s nearly a 20% increase. Nowhere was it more evident than in the keynote room and conference education sessions. And of course the expo hall, where partners explored new business opportunities with suppliers.

Speaking of the expo hall, more than 320 sponsors and exhibitors represented at this week’s event. That’s a record. We also blew away our all-time record for number of speakers, as more than 200 shared their industry insight with nuggets that partners can take home to improve their businesses.

It sounds like very few of you missed the event, but in case you did, we’re here for you. We assembled what our edit team thinks were some of the most memorable moments from our keynote stage. Check out our slideshow above for highlights from what was our most remarkable event ever.
