Our inaugural Boston event was a huge success. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to such a productive day. It was a great opportunity to bring together east coast channel marketing professionals and industry experts from all technology backgrounds. It provided a unique opportunity for marketers and sales professionals working in the channel to delve into a vibrant and collaborative environment, discovering fresh perspectives and gaining new insights on today’s channel challenges.
