The Canalys Forums are the largest independent pan-region events for channel
partners, distributors, and senior vendor management.

They bring together the IT channel to network and discuss the industry's latest
news and topics. Our aim is to provide the IT channel with independent and
impartial content while creating a platform for vendors to educate the channel.



For channel partners registering without an invitation code, please contact
events@canalys.com to receive a discounted invite. 

We recognize that the North American event landscape is packed, which is why we
ensure the Canalys Forum is must-attend event for busy channel leaders. Here’s
how we differentiate:

 1. Canalys brings together the entire channel ecosystem: The full ecosystem of
    channel partners, distributors, vendors and industry leaders attend,
    prompting dynamic, meaningful debate.
 2. Dynamic and exciting content formats: Giving delegates access to unique
    channel research and putting partners at the centre of the conversation,
    with less focus on vendor pitches.  
 3. Connect with the most important players: 93% of the Canalys Forums audience
    are decision-makers like CEOs and SVPs.
 4. Grow your business: Partners meet with key vendors and distributors to
    generate joint business opportunities and ensure strong ROI from attendance.
 5. Save on travel and cost: Efficiency is another key benefit, with the ability
    to meet vendors, partners and competitors in one place and maximize travel
    budget.

EXPLORE OUR EVENTS




CANALYS FORUMS THEME: MAKING WAVES IN THE TECHNOLOGY CHANNEL

The theme for this year’s event is “Making Waves”. Market currents are tough to
swim against and the outlook is difficult to forecast. The Canalys events are
vital for the channel community to take time together to plan and navigate. The
content and discussions at the Forums will concentrate on discovering ways to
grow and improve financial health and stability in a tight market. A key element
of that will be how to “make waves” – with new technology, business models and
ecosystems. The Canalys Forums 2023 will showcase the power of the partner
ecosystem and will provide a platform for the channel to meet, learn, celebrate
and share knowledge, and help boost business in 2024 and beyond.

The Canalys Forums provide independent and impartial content from top global and
regional Canalys analysts. The Canalys Forums 2023 will cover a variety of hot
topics, including cloud, cybersecurity, ESG (environmental, social and
governance), managed services and SaaS.

At the heart of the Canalys Forums is the channel. Our senior analysts will give
their in-depth and uniquely independent view of the state of the channel, the
burgeoning ecosystem model, and how imminent economic and technology trends will
affect future business. Participants will identify cloud growth and how partners
can support customers in an inflationary era. The events will explore whether
cloud marketplaces are the future of distribution and where partner value lies.

We will discuss the next phase of partner programs beyond tiers, recognizing
influence partners and managed services maturity within partners. Additionally,
the events will cover the outlook for various key markets, categories and
verticals. One key discussion topic for the Canalys Forums 2023 will be building
repeatable, profitable success frameworks. Across mainstage content, Expert
Hubs, workshops and meetings, the events will cover key interest areas, such as
MSP models, private equity in the channel, channel marketing and demand
generation, and the role of the GSIs. Partners and vendor sponsors will come
away with a clear vision of growth expectations and which segments and markets
to focus on together with their vendor partners, in turn understanding how to
“make waves”.

The 2023 event series will continue to be a valuable and dynamic event for the
IT channel. Attendees will discuss critical topics that will help vendors,
distributors and channel partners plan to “make waves” in 2024 and beyond. We
welcome your feedback as we continue to build and refine our agenda.
