75 Channel Partner Events and Channel Conferences for 2011

  • Written by The VAR Guy 1
  • November 22, 2010
The VAR Guy is nearly done with business travel for 2010. Is it time to for our resident frequent flier to kick back and relax? Hardly. Here's a list of 75 different channel partner conferences and events in 2011. For the most part each conference is designed for VARs and/or managed services providers -- though a few focus more on ISVs (independent software vendors). Take a look.

Before you jump into the list please note:

The VAR Guy is nearly done with business travel for 2010. Is it time to for our resident frequent flier to kick back and relax? Hardly. Here’s a list of 75 different channel partner conferences and events in 2011. For the most part each conference is designed for VARs and/or managed services providers — though a few focus more on ISVs (independent software vendors). Take a look.

Before you jump into the list please note:

  • Disclaimer: Some dates and locations are known. Some are unknown. Dates and locations could be subject to change. Check in with the event host.
  • Help Wanted: If you’re aware of additional events that may be worth tracking please post a comment
  • Local Distractions: If you love a specific restaurant, hotel, bar or theme park in a host city… please post a comment.
  • Bonus: The VAR Guy avoided the temptation to turn this into a lame, sleep-inducing 76-page slide show. Imagine that: All the content you need on a SINGLE web page that really serves readers. How unique.

Based on  reader feedback The VAR Guy will publish a list of additional events plus preferred destinations and distractions in each host city. It’s safe to expect that updated blog entry sometime in December 2010.

    If The VAR Guy wasn’t on vacation he would thank you for all the comments so far. An updated list representing all of your feedback (maybe even Bill Clinton as a keynote?) will surface in December 2010.
