The top 270 industry events for MSPs, VARs and tech channel professionals

According to a recent survey, 77% of people prefer in-person events (American Express Global Business Travel 2023 Meetings and Events Forecast). There are several reasons why channel and partnership professionals prefer in-person events, including:

• Networking: in-person events offer an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals in the industry. This can be a valuable way to learn about new opportunities, make connections and build relationships.
• Learning: in-person events often feature presentations and workshops from experts across a wide array of technology and business topics. This can be a great way to learn about new trends, best practices and technologies.
• Excitement: in-person events can be more exciting and engaging than virtual events. This is because partners, vendors, distributors and other industry participants get to interact with other people in real time and experience the event atmosphere.

Of course, there are also some disadvantages to in-person events, such as the cost of travel and the time commitment. But, for many people, the benefits of in-person events outweigh the disadvantages.

Channel professionals tell us there are several benefits to attending in-person events, including increased engagement. People are more likely to be engaged and attentive at in-person events than at virtual events. This is because they can interact with the speakers and other attendees in real time. There are also better networking opportunities. In-person events provide an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals across the industry. Learning about new buyers, industries, products, market segments and business models benefits partners as they look to grow their businesses. Events provide a more immersive and engaging experience than what was a virtual-only experience during the pandemic.
