Reimagining the Future of Business

Over three days, Channel Connect delivered more than 40 Education Breakout Sessions from industry experts, across six education tracks, moderated by our Sales and Solutions Engineering colleagues.

The topics spanned from helping partners protect customers’ business with Managed Security, transforming the network with SD-WAN, solving customer challenges with Communications-as-a-Service and Cloud Compute solutions, and supporting customers’ end-to-end Microsoft cloud journey. Sessions in the Microsoft, CaaS and Security tracks proved to be the most popular with the Intelisys community.
