Aside from the fantastic speakers EMEACon is also about providing education and tools for the channel and has a number of sessions around key themes and topics affecting the industry.

Jim Hamilton, director of communities, CompTIA, said: "We spend much of our time with business leaders in the channel and identify the areas and tools needed to help our members and the whole of the IT channel.

"At our EMEA events, we have a platform for business leaders to share and discuss the challenges they face, as well as get ideas and insight from peers who have experienced and overcome the challenges."
