The event, scheduled for March 24-27 at the Venetian Las Vegas, will bring together entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders across the entire channel ecosystem. The Channel Partners Conference & Expo is one of the longest running conferences and expos for the sellers of telecommunications, collaboration, communications and connectivity solutions. The event combines technology advisors with managed service providers (MSPs), IT providers and consultants. The 2024 Channel Partners Conference and Expos attracted more than 7,500 attendees, more than 150 speakers and 300-plus sponsors and attendees. More than one-third of those at the show were first-time attendees.
The theme of the 2025 conference is Channel Forward: The Channel’s momentum accelerates, propelling the partner ecosystem to new heights. According to Canalys chief analyst Jay McBain, 73.2% of deals in the $5.4 trillion addressable IT market for 2025 will go “to, through and with” partners.
As in the past, the event will include a lineup of notable keynote speakers from the leading telecommunications providers along with thought leaders in the IT managed services business. In addition to the keynote stage —one of the largest in the industry—the conference will include more than 200 speakers, 39 keynote sessions, 61 breakouts and 300 sponsors. A total of around 8,000 attendees are expected. The sessions are designed to help partners understand opportunities in cloud, security, storage, AI, contact center and unified communications. The huge expo floor features more than 300 channel-centric companies and the networking receptions at the event are legendary.
“The Channel Partners Conference and Expo and MSP Summit are the ultimate destination for the entire channel ecosystem to hear from thought leaders about the strategic direction of the channel,” said Robert DeMarzo, senior director of Informa’s channel organization. “The format of the conference and massive exposition also provides an opportunity for all participants to dive deep into the new products and services that will shape the channel for the coming year.”
“Each year, the event grows in size, scope and importance to the entire channel,” said Channel Event GM Kelly Danziger. “We continuously evolve the conference and exposition platforms to serve the ever-changing needs of all channel partners so they can accelerate their growth and identify new opportunities. The event’s incredible growth since 2019 has been fueled by our ability to connect the builders of IT and communications solutions and services to the sellers who are trusted by the customers to make the best possible decisions for them. That’s what makes this event so special.”
Any qualified channel professional can register here for event.
“Channel Partners [2024] was an amazing event where we learned a ton in a short amount of time. It was a little like drinking from a fire hose, but it also was very energizing, and we are able to bring that back to our team and get everyone excited about all the newness in the industry.
