XChange EMEA 2026: Meet our boardroom leaders

CRN’s flagship conference returns to The Netherlands later this month

XChange EMEA 2026 is returning to The Hague, Netherlands on 22 & 23 June.

CRN is excited to once again welcome a host of senior executives from managed services providers and reseller companies for two days of networking, learning and collaboration as we unpack the EMEA channel’s key trends.

Ahead of the event, we are pleased to announce our boardroom leaders:

These industry experts will be responsible for facilitating our peer-to-peer boardroom appointments, where attendees will be split into intimate, pre-selected groups to hear from vendors from across the EMEA region.

Boardroom appointments offer solution provider, MSP and VAR attendees exclusive insight into the latest IT solutions to share with their customers - without having to schedule 1-2-1 meetings with vendors.

Rather than simply reading off a presentation or sales deck, vendors will ask questions and engage with partners to try and determine their and their customers’ pain-points and share new solutions with them.

Attendees can then enter into frank discussions with vendors around their commercial needs.

“As a chair of these meetings I've learned a lot from others and started implemented some tips and tricks that I would have never have thought about in our business”, boardroom leader Sonny Sehgal told CRN.

“I would advise people to come and engage, ask questions and actually ask fellow attendees what they are up to and learn.”

As well as boardroom appointments, XChange EMEA boasts a diverse range of main stage sessions, including panel discussions on cybersecurity and operation in uncertainty, as well as our closing keynote delivered by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who will share his story of being detained at Guantánamo Bay in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.
