Conference in Austin

Image Gallery: Synnex Varnex Spring Conference

  • Written by Channel
  • April 1, 2017
This image gallery features the sights of the Spring 2017 Varnex Conference — and offers a recap.
  • Image Gallery: Synnex Varnex Spring Conference

    A lot has changed over the 10 years that Varnex – the peer-to-peer community of Synnex resellers – has been around.

    At this year’s 10th Anniversary Varnex 2017 Spring Conference, held this week in Austin, Texas, the membership community still promotes leadership skills, business-success strategies and partnering. However, member businesses are changing, and so are their needs. 

    Synnex’s Bob Stegner, senior vice president of marketing, North America, has had a front-row seat for the past 10 years.

    “If you go back 10 years, pricing was still a big deal — a factor in a partners’ business. So, looking back, a goal for Varnex was to make the monthly costs of their business more affordable.”

    Today, he says that adaptability is key to a partner’s business, whether that means changing their business model or expanding to new vertical industry sectors — that’s where Varnex focuses on helping partners today.

    Channel Partners attended the Varnex Spring Conference. Click through our image gallery for a recap.

    When done, read our news stories on:

    • Varnex’s 10th anniversary
    • A Varnex partner’s road map

    Synnex Varnex Spring Conference: 'Speed Dating'

    Speed dating, or networking, gives Varnex members the opportunity to hear from each Silver Varnex sponsor. This new and invaluable hour-long session allows partners to get face time with key vendors.

    Eight resellers and one vendor meet at a time with the goal of giving customers a chance to chat with vendors about their products and services. Then it’s onto the next table and/or vendor. The room was packed.

  • Synnex Varnex Spring Conference: Austin’s History

    Synnex Varnex Spring Conference: Austin's History

    Austin is a much-loved conference destination, and then — there’s the music. But Austin has a whole lot of history.

    Innkeeper Angelina Eberly fired the town cannon, blowing a hole in the Land Office building, roused the populace and the stopped Sam Houston’s men from stealing the government archives. Then president of Texas, Houston’s actions were an attempt, in 1842, to move the capital from Austin to his namesake, Houston. This statue honors Eberly’s bravery. She was later given the archives for safekeeping.

  • Synnex Varnex Spring Conference: Vertical Markets
