Channel Forecast Editorial Round Tables

The Comms Dealer roundtable sessions provide a forum where vendors can share their insights on the key challenges, strategies and technologies that channel partners will need to adopt in order to thrive in 2024 and beyond. The content of these high-level discussions will form a key part of our 2024 editorial calendar and provide a fantastic blend of editorial content in Comms Dealer magazine, online and via social media with the release of a series of 'Video Shorts' highlighting the key points/questions from the discussion.

Subjects for 2025:

  • Setting the 2025 priority agenda – and identifying where resellers should focus their strategic attention this year.
  • Harnessing analytics and AI to drive growth
  • Harnessing Mobile and IoT opportunities to drive growth
  • Mid year update: What’s new and interesting in the Channel
  • Harnessing Software integration opportunities to drive growth
  • Why will a Sustainability-led business practice be key to future success?

Each Channel Forecast Roundtable session will be held online (via Zoom), will last approximately 1 hour and will be facilitated by the Comms Dealer editorial team. Each session will include up to 5x vendor participants in addition to our editorial team. The session will be recorded, edited and then promoted to our channel partner community of over 15,000 readers. The session content will also form the basis of a followup feature article appearing in the next issue Comms Dealer magazine. We will also produce a series of ‘Video Shorts’ based on the most important questions which will be shared on social media over the following month
