Channel Partners Conference Call for Speakers Open

Let your voice be heard. 

If you have insight and information that can help partners advance and grow their businesses, then we have an event platform where your message can reach the entire channel. The Channel Partners Conference & Expo and MSP Summit are now accepting call for speaker applications for the May 1-4, 2023, conference which will be held at the Venetian Resort and Conference Center in Las Vegas. This is an opportunity for industry experts to share their insight and wisdom in what has become the largest vendor-neutral partner conference in the industry serving the entire channel. 

The event is organized by the Informa Tech Channel group which operates the global Channel Futures media platform and Channel Partners Conference & Expo and MSP Summit among other events including The Channel Leadership Summit and Channel Partners EMEA events.  

There are a limited number of speaking slots available for keynotes, conference tracks, peer group meet-ups and other education sessions at the event, so we encourage speakers to submit applications as early as possible. All content sessions will be reviewed by our events content team along with our editorial staff and advisory boards as part of a standard review process. Speakers will be notified whether their submissions have been accepted as soon as possible. Session ideas that cannot be accommodated as part of the May conference will be considered for the Oct. 30-Nov. 1, 2023, Channel Leadership Summit which will take place at the Fontainebleau in Miami. 

We encourage submissions from technology advisors and agents who sell communications and collaboration services, MSPs, VARs, cloud providers, IT consultants and other channel partner organizations that service small, medium and large customers. Speakers should focus their submissions on key topics that include customer trends, the buyer’s journey, and how partners of all kinds can drive more recurring revenue via managed services. Vendors and technology suppliers are also invited to submit session ideas, but they should focus on content that is vendor-agnostic and provides partners with a big picture of the market opportunity.  

Speakers are encouraged to submit proposals that will be presented in separate conference tracks designed for technology advisors/agents and MSPs. The key topics include customer insights, marketing, sales, technology and innovation, industry trends and leadership.

The theme of the May 2023 conference is “Elevate: Your Time to Shine.” The event position is as follows: Channel partners have been put to the test by the events of recent years only to prove yet again they have the right stuff. The entire channel has emerged stronger than ever because partners put the customer first. Fortified with customer trust, unbreakable peer connections, strategic technology relationships and supercharged teams, channel leaders can now accelerate growth in a volatile and fast-changing world. This is the moment to shine above all others as you take your ambitions to new heights and embrace a brave new journey. Elevate your skills, team, organization and connections so you can address high expectations from customers who want real expertise and outcomes.  

Channel Partners Conference & Expo together with the MSP Summit is the industry’s largest and leading independent conference and expo in the channel. Partners can connect with technology suppliers to advance their businesses and harness the knowledge that accelerates new revenue and growth. As the business world increasingly looks to the channel to solve the complex challenges of connecting teams and securing data, IT communications software and services are more critical than ever. With channel leaders facing so much uncertainty with the economy, lengthening sales cycles and consolidation, everyone must focus more intently on the needs of today’s customers.
