First top speakers confirmed for Partner Connect

Samsung and BlackBerry are the first to be revealed for our May event

You may have heard murmurings about the ‘all new’ Partner Connect event this year.

The theme to this year’s event is mobility and all that goes with it.

We have completely overhauled the event to focus on the technology and the business benefits this will bring to the channel.

As more UK firms employ a mobile workforce and with younger staff expecting to bring their own devices into the workplace, managers are worried how they will keep sensitive data safe and how all these new devices will integrate with their existing network and infrastructure.

From a reseller perspective exactly how do you go about selling these solutions to customers, and what are the options available?

Partner Connect will answer all those questions and more.

With a top notch line up of speakers from the key vendor players in that space set to be unveiled over the coming weeks, this really will become an event you cannot afford to miss, if you have customers demanding mobility solutions or if it is an area you are looking to get into.

And we can’t think of many who won’t.

So as a starter we are very pleased to reveal that both BlackBerry and Samsung will be speaking at the event in the Ricoh Arena on 16 May.

BlackBerry recently launched its BBES 10 operating system and is looking to breathe a new lease of life into its existing corporate customer base and obviously win new customers as well.

It is keen to engage with the channel, and this is your opportunity to come and hear what BlackBerry has to say and also to meet with vendor representatives on a one to one basis. Not to mention getting your hands on its latest technology.

Samsung is the global leader in the smartphone and tablet space – but what are its plans for the B2B market? Find out at Partner Connect, see its technology up close and meet with executives during the day.

We also have an extensive line up of exhibitors at the event offering complementary technology that will enable you to provide a complete mobility solution to your customers.

CRN publisher Alan Loader said all the stops have been pulled out this year in making Partner Connect the best and most relevant event it has ever been.

“Mobility is such a hot topic at the moment, but there are so many different strands to it and many VARs just don’t know where to begin. Every possible avenue will be covered. Partner Connect this year will answer all the questions resellers may have and it will also get you in front of the biggest vendors in that space.

“There are very few events in the channel calendar that can bring you together with some of the biggest names in the industry and we are very happy to welcome BlackBerry and Samsung as our first speakers in our technology theatre.

“Watch this space to find out which other names we will be announcing very shortly.”
