CVxEXPO23 attendees are invited to shop along Acceleration Avenue to increase their supply chain speed.
Acceleration Avenue is an area located in the Talking Stick Resort & Casino exhibit hall foyer, which will be populated by the six vendors and XaaS1/Channel Sales PRO associated with the two-part educational session that focuses on the breakdowns and deficiencies that need to be solved to complete the digital transformation of the channel supply chain.
The two sessions – Accelerating the Channel Supply Chain –Part 1: Identify the Deficiencies, scheduled for 1 to 1:45 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 14, and Reseller Requirements MSPs Need to Know (Part 2), scheduled for 8 to 8:45 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 15 – will be led by XaaS1/Channel Sales PRO CEO Rick Beckers, who also set up Acceleration Avenue.
He explained that Acceleration Avenue will allow the panelists “to focus on the educational content within the sessions by simply saying ‘if you want more information about this area of our conversation you should stop by Acceleration Avenue on the boulevard just outside of the show floor entrance doors.’
The vendors Acceleration Avenue will be able to demonstrate their application and/or platform,” Beckers said. “These are a group of hand-picked thought leaders, most of whom are the CEOs of their companies, making themselves available to the attendees for expanded conversations about digital transformation of the channel supply chain.
“We fully expect to get a jump on things by scheduling meetings with attendees before we even get to the show,” Beckers said. “The attendees will show up at the table of the thought leader at the appointed time for a 15- or 30-minute conversation. All of the vendors will have a compelling ‘show promotion’ to offer attendees.
Along with Beckers, the participants of Acceleration Avenue and the companion educational sessions include:
- Rick Figueiredo, General Manger, Pagealive
- Sudhir Nambiar, Co-Founder & President, xAmplify
- Chris Ferriera, Founder, MSP Nation
- Billy Robbins, CEO, Intent Company
- Gopalan Shankar, CEO, VARStreet
- Andrew Down, Director of Sales – IT Channel, Vendasta
“The ultimate supply chain would be one that is digital from end-to-end,” Beckers said. “That’s what we seek, and that’s what we will discuss.”
During the sessions, attendees will learn:
- What the indirect channel supply chain is
- Who the stakeholders in the supply chain are.
- What pain points and gaps exist in the supply chain?
- How we can solve those pain points?
- Examples of the solutions for those pain points.
- Evolving solutions coming over the horizon, road-mapped features that are soon coming.
- How to get involved in improving the indirect technology sales channel of the future.
- How to learn more.
- Next steps.
Beckers added the sessions are geared toward:
- OEM/Vendor Partners looking to streamline their internal and external partner systems, recruit and retain partner sales agents, and scale revenue via a digitally transformed supply chain.
- Agents/Distributors/TSD’s looking to evolve from the brick-and-mortar logistics distribution industry to the all-digital subscription-based economy of the tech supply chain. Looking to differentiate themselves in this evolving industry where we have reached point where if they stand still they will suffer and be leap-frogged.
- Indirect Sales Agents (MSP/Telecom/VAR/SI/Consultant) who want to maximize their capabilities without having to build a big back office. Or, those who want to differentiate themselves from the typical local business and portray an image of an enterprise firm while maintaining the personal touch experience with your clients
