Channel Futures Leadership Summit: Can't-Miss Sessions, Networking Events

The Channel Futures Leadership Summit in Miami Beach kicks off on Monday, Oct. 30, at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. As usual, the entire Channel Futures team will be working up until the very last moment to make sure the event is jam-packed with the information, insights and education that partners from all corners of the channel ecosystem need. Not an easy task in an industry characterized by perpetual change.

The last 12 months in the channel have seen cyberattacks increase and remote working decrease. The economy wobbles, hiring challenges abound and product marketplaces expand, and channel leaders struggle to maintain growth and profitability. They grapple with issues ranging from M&A and marketing to recurring revenue and customer experience.

For Channel Futures, the biggest change of the past few months has been that Informa Tech, owner of the Channel Futures and Channel Partners Conference & Expo media brands, acquired research and events firm Canalys. Informa Tech was already home to research group Omdia, with a global team of 400 analysts and consultants having expertise in more than 200 markets. The addition of Canalys creates a one-stop shop for technology and communications providers looking to accelerate their growth rates, reach high-growth markets and implement innovative strategies to advance their businesses.

Having proprietary access to Canalys research enables Channel Futures and Channel Partners to increase the breadth and depth of their coverage. It will also help inform content on the website and at events.

Which brings us back to the Channel Futures Leadership Summit. It’s been quite a challenge to pack everything you said you wanted into a four-day event, but we think we somehow managed to do it — with plenty of time baked in for the all-important networking. More than 50 keynote sessions, Leadership Summit sessions, Women’s Leadership Summit sessions and MSP Summit sessions on topics ranging from AI to Zero Trust — we’ve got you covered.
