As I write this posting, the Channel Partners show is only 12 days, 11 hours, 26 minutes and 8 seconds away. No, make that 7 seconds. Wow, I guess what Im trying to say is its just around the corner!

With the show only 12 days away, the Channel Partners show management staff is working hard to wrap up the final details to make Channel Partners a success. I truly am so excited to be a part of what is now my 11th Channel Partners Conference & Expo. I have been a part of the show management team since the Spring 2001 AgENt Conference & Expo, and I have seen many changes to PHONE+s  flagship event. Ive seen a name change, a logo change, four different host cities, three OC192s performances and more importantly, a growing channel. 

What started out as strictly an agent show has grown into the communications industrys only event for solutions providers. In addition to agents, we now welcome VARs, systems integrators, interconnects and wireless dealers to our show, and I am excited to see these new faces in Las Vegas!

We have worked hard over the past six months to bring you what we believe will be the best Channel Partners to date! From Charles Barkleys keynote address, to a new wireless dealer track and pavilion, to a full CSP training module (for free!), we feel confident youll find Channel Partners to be well worth the trip! As always, your comments and suggestions for the show are welcome. Please feel free to post your comments about the show on this blog or stop the PHONE+ booth (315-317) at the show to share your thoughts.

See you in Las Vegas!
