In just a few years, CVxEXPO has grown from the channel’s best kept secret to a must-attend event for partners – and a valuable resource for growing revenue and relationships. This year CVxEXPO25 begins a new chapter in a brand-new city, at the recently renovated Renaissance Hotel & Spa in Glendale, Ariz. CVxEXPO25, taking place Nov. 3-5, is shaping up to be the most successful event to date, with a bigger show floor, record attendance, and a brandnew AI Demo Café featuring the latest emerging technologies. ChannelVision sat down with Beka Business Media President and CEO Berge Kaprelian to discuss the latest on CVxEXPO25, and what partners can expect. ChannelVision: As founder of CVxEXPO, you have a unique vision. Tell us more about what makes the annual CVxEXPO different from other channel events. Berge Kaprelian: After decades of attending and observing industry events, we set out to provide something different. The annual CVxEXPO is an event produced for channel professionals, by channel professionals who are heavily immersed in the communications and network services industry. Each year, we aim to provide practical sales tactics, revenue opportunities, leadership advice and networking – while skipping the time waste and “fluff” that other shows tend to promote. CV: CVxEXPO is known for its large expo floor, with cutting-edge technologies and solutions from leading vendors. What can attendees and exhibitors expect this year? BK: Once again, we’re expecting more than 120 exhibitors offering a mix of in-demand technologies from the most exciting and disruptive vendors in the channel. This year, we’re excited to bring back the popular CX Village and MSP Village by Fornix. Plus, we’ll be unveiling the Palomarr Pavillion and all-new AI Demo Café featuring live presentations from exhibitors and sponsors, along with complementary coffee and snacks. CV: Complementary coffee and snacks? That’s not something you see often at industry events… BK: That’s not all. CVxEXPO is completely FREE to attend. We also offer complementary lunch, cocktails and receptions, and social networking activities like indoor E-Kart racing, team VR experiences, a golf tournament, laser tag, and Top Golf. It’s all designed to minimize T&E, and maximize value. CVxEXPO is truly unlike any other show in the channel. CV: Let’s talk about the educational component. What are you planning this year? BK: We have a full lineup of sessions, carefully curated to include the most pressing topics that matter to partners. Some highlights include an all-star TSD keynote panel, tips for selling SASE, accessorizing access sales, and the latest opportunities around enterprise AI. Our educational program will also be conveniently located on-site, and close to the expo floor – just like it was in Scottsdale. Come ready to take notes and ask questions, because you won’t want to miss our hands-on discussions.
