Palo Alto 2024 Event | Channel Meet Up

All of our events have their own unique atmosphere and feel; the California event is vibrant and interactive, with Global leaders coming together to understand future trends and discuss Partner strategy. The analyst keynote kicks off to get everybody thinking, then we move to vendor best practice sessions, roundtables and we share our own research from the global CMU audiences.

Some vendors call it channel therapy; it's the place to be to meet like minded peers and unpick common challenges.

In 2024 we are excited to be returning to our favourite venue, El Prado, in Palo Alto. A light, bright space that sets the tone for the day (and serves delicious food!).

Stay tuned for announcements on keynotes and table topics.

Analyst Presentations

We are privileged to have great analyst relationships, and are excited to welcome Forrester back to deliver our 2024 keynote.

A key feature of the event; you will have opportunity to join two roundtables during the day. Facilitated by our Sponsors this is your opportunity to connect with peers and go deep into a collaborative discussions following the theme of the day: Driving Partner Sourced Demand

Q&A Panel

Always a lively slot on the agenda; our master of ceremony will put a panel of experts through some tough questions, and then open it up to delegates to ask away.

Research

As a CMU delegate you will be invited to participate in two pieces of research. Our channel audit will benchmark your channel marketing against your peers and provide a personalised report. Our delegate research captures state of the channel 2024 and provides valuable insight on priorities.

Theme for the day: Driving Partner Sourced Demand

The Channel Meet Up agenda provides a mix of learning experiences for delegates all based on a relevant theme, which for 2024 is "Driving Partner Sourced Demand."

This is a particularly tricky challenge that was highlighted by our delegates as an area where they need help. So we are tackling this with an in depth look at how to drive, track and report on demand, including sharing some of the innovations in customer marketing and discussing how we can enable our partners better, and bring demand best practice into partner marketing.

Partner marketing needs to drive revenue, and with an increased emphasis placed on attribution, we need to build programs that deliver results.

CMU 2024 intends to unpick these challenges head on.
