1. It’s the world’s number 1 channel conference

Delivering a combination of the latest channel thinking and practical sessions where you can take away actual programs that are driving channel success today.

2. The event will save you money
Learn from others how they have done it, the mistakes they have made and what really works – these answers are invaluable and will save you many times the amount you will spend on attending the event.

3. Learn from the experts
The quality of speakers and workshop leaders at Channel Focus is recognized as being the best of any Channel Sales and Marketing Conference. The conference features over 40 of the leading Channel figures from within our industry, sharing the very latest strategic thinking on the channel, best practices and practical advice and actual programs you can take back and start using tomorrow. And, unlike many other conferences, most of the speakers stay to actively participate in all the conference activities—including workshops.

4. Customizable agenda
A learning experience tailored to your needs. At Channel Focus we have 2 keynotes, 2 tracks, 12 workshops, 20 sessions, and unlimited opportunities to meet virtually with other Channel executives. You choose what you attend, so your experience and learning are unique to your own needs.

5. Practical how-to presentations
These real-world presentations focus on how to do and how to improve fundamental channel sales, marketing, and operational activities. At the conference, speakers will share actual programs they are using to increase channel revenue and profitability. You will come away with checklists of do’s and don’ts you can use to build or enhance your own programs.

6. Get answers to your questions in our workshops
Our workshops, which are small group discussions, are designed to enable you to bring your questions and get real answers to the issues that matter to you. The workshops at Channel Focus provide an unrivalled opportunity to share practical ideas and suggestions with 10-15 of your peers and take away answers to your specific questions. All this in a group format where you can interact live and on-camera with your fellow attendees and Group leaders.

7. Great contacts and key sources of help
During the workshops, at lunches and network breaks you’ll have an unrivaled opportunity to meet with the other attendees on camera and one-on-one!

You’ll make great contacts, meet key sources of help, and establish relationships that will help you do your job long after this year’s conference is over.

8. Channel Focus is an amazingly real world
With a tremendous amount of peer sharing of honest and practical ideas. In part, that’s because it is a closed forum: there is no press in attendance. It is fundamentally a group of highly seasoned industry Channel Sales and Marketing Executives getting together to learn and help each other. That’s why attendees take away real solutions that they can apply immediately.

9. Access the world’s leading channel solution providers
Providers will be on hand to address your mission-critical priorities. You’ll receive exclusive access to some of the world’s leading solution providers in a variety of settings.

10. Above all Channel Focus is a content-driven event
Our advisory board of over 30 Senior Channel experts have generously contributed their time to help us develop the agenda and topics that cover the most important Channel issues affecting the Channel today. This means the content is right on point for what’s happening now and what will be happening in the next years.
