First-Time Exhibitors, Sponsors at Channel Partners Evolution
When you stroll into the expo hall, keynote sessions and meeting rooms at Channel Partners Evolution, Sept. 25-28, in Austin, Texas, you’re going to see a lot of familiar names and faces — but you’ll also spot a large number of companies you haven’t interacted with before.
We’ve lined up nearly three-dozen first-time exhibitors and sponsors for Evolution. They include telecom and IT giants such as Avaya, Cisco, IBM and Intel, just to name a few, but they also include lesser-known names that could lead to significant partnerships and big money for solution providers.
