THINKstrategies, the Cloud Showplace and Rising-Tide Media Unveil Cloud Channel Summit
In order for the Cloud Computing industry to build on its initial success and gain even greater market acceptance and adoption, leading Cloud vendors must enlist a broader set of channel partners to address specific customer requirements. However, many traditional channel companies feel threatened by the direct sales and support model which has typically been used by Cloud vendors to date. THINKstrategies, the Cloud Computing Showplace and Rising Tide Media are hosting a one-day gathering of industry leaders to provide a forum to discuss these issues and share industry best practices. The Cloud Channel Summit is specifically aimed at bringing together business development and strategic partnering executives from Cloud vendors and their channel company counterparts to foster greater communication and collaboration so they can jointly attack the growing opportunities in the Cloud marketplace. Because we believe the Cloud Computing industry is at an historic crossroads, we are holding this unique event at the Computer History Museum in Mt. View, CA. We have also scheduled it on Monday, November 7, to coincide with the upcoming Cloud Computing Expo which is focused on the latest technological innovations in this rapidly evolving market.

Please contact Jeff Kaplan of THINKstrategies and the Cloud Computing Showplace if you’re interested in speaking and partnering opportunities at this event, or Marc Sternberg of Rising Tide Media if you’d like to investigate sponsorship opportunities.
