TBI’s BIG EVENT — TBI welcomed some 400 partners to its third Big Event today at the Venue Six10 space on Michigan Avenue, overlooking Grant Park. Areas of focus included IoT and cybersecurity — with an emphasis on new TBI University security training. TBI says it’s seeing end-customer spend on security averaging 30 percent of the IT budget, up from 13 percent year over year.

The day caps an eventful few weeks for the Chicago-based master agent: It recently signed satellite internet provider ViaSat and earlier this month added a pair of new channel managers.
