Channel Futures Leadership Summit Call for Speakers Open

The call for speakers for the 2023 Channel Futures Leadership Summit is open now and will remain open through Monday, July 3, at 11:59 p.m. MST.

The theme for the summit, to be held Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 at The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, is “The New Style of Leadership.”

Today’s channel leaders, customers and suppliers are facing myriad challenges, from economic uncertainty to the impact of AI. These challenges demand a new style of leadership, one that acknowledges the new realities and new metrics of success in the channel. One that inspires channel teams to remain committed to their company and their customers. Today’s channel leaders — from those rising through the ranks to those already in the C-suite — must develop a style that will deliver a reliable, predictable performance.

And that’s where you come in.

If you have insight and information of either a strategic or tactical nature that can enable channel leaders to achieve their growth goals, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to have your message heard by the entire channel.

We are also taking leadership and management ideas for our Women’s Leadership Summit.

Your call for speakers submissions are an essential step in building the 2023 Channel Leadership Summit keynote and conference tracks. Your expertise will help provide actionable information, identifying the most important trends and perspectives for enlightening and empowering our audience. We appreciate your interest in speaking at our events and well understand the effort it takes to create a terrific proposal.

Please keep in mind your content should be tailored to an audience of channel partners (agents, technology advisors, MSPs, VARs, MSSPs, IT consultants and solution providers) that sell IT and communications/collaboration solutions to customers of all sizes and in all sectors.

You can submit ideas for panels, Q&As, case studies or solo presentations to convey your message.

Informa Tech Channel Group

The Channel Futures Leadership Summit is organized by the Informa Tech Channel group which operates the global Channel Futures media platform and Channel Partners Conference & Expo and Channel Partners Europe as well as the Channel Futures Leadership Summit.

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.

We encourage call for speaker 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 women’s leadership, executive leadership, next-generation leadership, sales, managed services, recurring revenue, marketing, professional services and technology practice areas such as cloud, security, communications and collaboration.

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.

Are you ready to make your mark on the new style of channel leadership? Start your call for speakers application today and you may find yourself taking the stage at the channel event of the fall.
