UPDATE: JUNE 24, 2020

As the world continues to adapt to the changing business reality stemming from the global coronavirus pandemic, Channel Partners has been continually reviewing the best ways to serve the Channel community. Never before have digital mediums been so critical in communicating across business channels, and we are pivoting to meet these business challenges.

While we will be returning to a physical format for Channel Partners Evolution on September 2021 at the Charlotte Convention Center, Channel Partners will not be hosting an in-person physical event in the U.S. this year due to the continuing circumstances regarding COVID-19.

Nevertheless, we believe the need for our community to connect, inform and innovate is stronger than ever, and the Informa Tech Channel Group is committed to providing you the same level of education and community that the Channel is accustomed to finding at our physical events. We are excited to announce the launch of the Virtual edition of Channel Partners Conference & Expo and Channel Partners Evolution. Join us September 8-10, 2020 for three days of top-notch content and networking at the brand-new Channel Partners Virtual: Digital Events for the Modern Channel.

Channel Partners Virtual will deliver high-quality content, including many of the keynotes, conference tracks, networking opportunities and awards programs that were part of our original #CPExpo lineup. Moving the event to a virtual platform also offers us new capabilities and gives members of the Channel community who may not be able to travel to a live conference the opportunity to partake in the world’s largest Channel event.

Channel Partners believes in the power of gathering our community to share, inspire and strengthen our industry, and we are committed to continuing these efforts through multiple channels, with a wide range of content to suit all. We look forward to seeing you at our first Channel Partners Virtual: Digital Events for the Modern Channel conference on September 8-10.

Sincerely,
Joseph Marks
Event Director, Channel

Comms Infra Summit is where wireless, network infrastructure and data centre leaders collaborate for 5G deployment. The event will take place 20th September 2020.

In preparation for the highly anticipated deployment of commercial 5G around the world, companies across a vast selection of telecommunications sectors are strategising and prepping for network upgrades on an unprecedented scale. While commercial opportunities post deployment are looking very exciting and almost endless, to an industry challenged by fierce competition, the practical aspect of delivering an all encompassing network is complicated and expensive. To fully realise the opportunities in 5G cross-industry collaboration is crucial.

The unique gathering of fibre, wireless, software, hardware and data centre companies will also provide first hand insight on cross-industry collaboration and convergence. If your business strategic objective is to lead in technology development and network performance, don’t miss the opportunity to join the call to action.
