One-to-one meetings with high level managers of vendors and distributors and the exchange of views and experiences with peers from many different countries is excellent. Piotr Brogowski, CEO, VP, Orion Instruments Polska
The networking opportunities have already helped me grow my business and helped define my strategies. Andy Trish, CEO, NCI Technologies
Canalys gives me facts and figures, which together with the opinions and private briefings of vendors and "frenemies" allows me to cut through the hype and identify which business opportunities to pursue. The format allows time, efficient access to thought leaders and channel directors and provides clarity to our future planning. Robert Greenslade, Sales and Markeitng Director, Centralis
Great event, valuable information, excellent networking biotope. My fourth time at this event, and still a very exciting experience. Jef Matthe, Managing Director, Avitor
I can meet all the country and EMEA exec's over a couple of days with all major strategic vendors and distributors. This would normally take me a few months of planning and travelling. The best forum in Europe! Ivan Verdier, Director, Partner Management, Computacenter
It was great to present our company to such an excellent auditory. The one-to-one meeting with the partners where just great. We created the first revenue out of the event yesterday! Oliver Roth, Managing Director, Prianto
The best networking event on the planet - talking to the right people with enough time to have beneficial discussions. Ian Lockwood, Commercial Director, Taylor Made Computer Solutions
Hearing Steve Brazier speak was a breath of fresh air, clear & unbiased, keynote alone was worth the entire trip. Gareth Brown, Director, Systec
CCF 2012 exceeded expectations once again; this truly is the premier event for the whole channel to meet annually to discuss best practice, to hear from vendors and to network with a wide range of peers; looking forward to 2013... Sam Gillman, Vendor Alliances Manager, BT Engage

Leading through transitions

The IT industry is in a transition phase, driven by the consumerization of IT, enterprise mobility and data center transformation. These technology-driven changes are cascading through to purchase decision processes and IT management competencies.

Businesses are embracing new IT consumption models and experimenting with analytics to understand their customers. Much of this is driven by the superior price/performance ratio gained from converging infrastructure, in-memory computing, integrated security and, increasingly, software-enabled services. Transitions on these multiple fronts are challenging the IT industry status quo. Vendors and channel partners need to respond by developing new ecosystems to target evolving customer needs.

Join us at the sixth EMEA Canalys Channels Forum to hear from technology vendors who are designing products and services that will ride these transition waves. Canalys analysts and subject matter experts will illustrate how emerging ecosystems are defining 'new normals' in purchase processes and how channel partners can lead their customers successfully through changes.
