Coffee with Craig and James Episode 118: Bridgepointe Technologies

  • Written by Craig Galbraith and James Anderson
  • February 10, 2023
Learning about Bridgepointe's business model, plus an early preview of CP Expo.

Coffee with Craig and James, the Channel Futures podcast, welcomes Scott Kinka, chief strategy officer with Bridgepointe Technologies. Bridgepointe is truly one of the hottest companies in the channel, growing both organically and inorganically, via acquisition.

Kinka, Scott_Bridgepointe

Bridgepointe’s Scott Kinka

The guys also give you your first taste of the keynotes and conference sessions at the upcoming Channel Partners Conference & Expo, May 1-4. We told you last time about keynote speaker Capt. Scott Kelly, but that’s far from all. From a guy who lived in a van to a NASCAR driver, there’s some really cool content on tap. We talk about it in this podcast. And that’s just scratching the surface.

Craig and James also will discuss the news of the week, including the staggering number of layoffs impacting the channel. Communications platform as a service (CPaaS) is also a topic, as Channel Futures introduces a new video segment.

Links mentioned in this podcast:

  • Channel Partners Conference & Expo Registration Page
  • CP Expo Agenda
  • CP Expo Session: Lessons Learned from a Guy Who (Sometimes) Lives in a Van
  • CP Expo Session: How a NASCAR Driver Revved Up Our Channel Partners’ Branding
  • Channel Futures’ Channel Layoff Deep Dive
  • CPaaS Video with Avant’s Brent Wilford

You can subscribe to our videos on Vimeo. Or if you prefer audio only, subscribe on Apple Podcasts or via SoundCloud (embedded below). In fact, you can find us just about anywhere you get your podcasts.
