Hi Jon,
We’ve been watching the world evolve since March 2020, and though we hoped we’d be in a safe position to reunite in person in Las Vegas for Channel Partners Conference & Expo by March 2021, it is apparent that the world isn’t quite there yet. Simultaneously, your Channel business has not stopped. In some cases, we know demand is higher than ever and you rely on our spring show to learn, strategize, build relationships and thrive throughout the year.
Because of this, we have two announcements today. First, we are excited to announce that Channel Partners Conference & Expo will take place Nov. 2-5, 2021, postponed from March 2-5, 2021, in person at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas. We’re calling it a Homecoming because it will undoubtedly be a long-awaited reunion for our Channel community. You’ll benefit from all you’ve come to expect and love about our Vegas event, plus a new MSP 501 Summit, in addition to our signature Fall MSP 501 Awards gala. More fun surprises to come.
Additionally, following the success of Channel Partners Virtual in September 2020, we are also excited to announce the continuation of our virtual offering with a spring edition of Channel Partners Virtual 2021: Accelerating Evolution. It will take place online via our virtual events platform, powered by Swapcard, March 2-4. This show will offer our vendors and partners the opportunity to safely gain access to education and networking during this uncertain time for large face-to-face gatherings.
Conference attendees who paid to attend a Channel Partners live event in 2020 will automatically have access to attend the fall in-person event with a pass of equal value.*
For exhibitors and sponsors with credits from 2020, your sales representative will reach out to you with more information to automatically roll your credits to the November 2021 Channel Partners Conference & Expo, and help you secure your booth space. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to apply credits toward Channel Partners Spring Virtual 2021, Channel Evolution Europe in December 2021, media advertising and/or lead-gen opportunities with Channel Partners Online and Channel Futures.
While 2020 may have been a disruptive year for the Channel, we have strong confidence in our collective ability to persevere, overcome and progress. It’s what the Channel has always done and it’s what we will continue to do.
