More Than 2,500 Pack Largest Fall Channel Partners Conference to Date!

More than 2,500 partners and suppliers from the channel community attended the Fall 2011 Channel Partners Conference & Expo, Aug. 24-26 in Chicago, making it the largest in the event’s 15- year history.

“Channel Partners Conference & Expo was a success directly attributable to the quality of the program,” said Group Publisher Larry Lannon. “Once again, we significantly improved the program and introduced several successful new program elements, including the Selling Techniques Luncheon and the Channel Partners Zone, or CPZ, and an improved level of interactivity in sessions.

“The continued focus on the quality of the programming and on programmatic innovation, combined with the inherent strength of the channel itself, led to an increase in attendance of 10 percent compared to the attendance last September in Washington, D.C.,” Lannon added.

The event featured more than 50 hours of programming, nine hours of networking and more than 120 exhibitors and sponsors. Click here to read the full review.
