If you’ve been wondering about cloud trends impacting the channel, look no further.

That topic took up much of the discussion during the latest cloud roundtable at the 2023 Channel Partners Conference & Expo. For the third year in a row, Channel Partners held this invite-only, closed-door event to uncover not only cloud trends, but challenges and evolution and more — all as it applies to partners.

Four vendors joined the panel: Ryan Walsh, co-founder of Pax8; John Turner, director of customer marketing at VMware; Adrianna Bustamante, vice president of global alliances and channels at Rackspace; and Michael Piccininni, director of global alliances, Americas cloud, data center and telco service providers at Dell.
