 The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the leading trade association for the software and digital content industries, has entered into a partnership with THINKstrategies, Inc., the Cloud Computing Showplace, and Rising Tide Media in support of their upcoming industry conferences – the Cloud Channel Summit and All About Mobile.

Cloud Channel Summit will bring together senior executives from Cloud vendors and channel companies to discuss winning strategies for building successful and profitable partnerships to create new business opportunities in the Cloud marketplace. Monday, November 7, at the Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA

“Channel development is essential to the continued success of the Cloud movement, and the SIIA is pleased to be working with THINKstrategies, the Cloud Computing Showplace and Rising Tide Media to make the Cloud Channel Summit a valuable forum where leading players can share their best practices and success stories,” according to Rhianna Collier, Vice President of the Software Division, SIIA, who will also moderate a session at the Summit.

All About Mobile focuses on the next great leap in the evolution of software and services. This is the year the enterprise goes mobile, and no one is better poised to deliver mobile business applications than the Cloud Computing members of the SIIA. Attend All About Mobile to discuss, partner, plan, build and connect the next generation of networks and apps! Tuesday, November 15, the Mission Bay Conference Center, San Francisco, CA

I’ve been a long-time supporter of the SIIA and its many conferences, including their annual All About the Cloud conference, because of the tremendous value they bring ISVs. I know All About Mobile will bring together the best and brightest enterprise mobility leaders for an ambitious agenda designed to help ISVs determine their next step in going mobile,” says Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the leading independent consulting firm focused entirely on the business implications of cloud computing, and founder of the Cloud Computing Showplace, the largest online directory and best practices resource center in the Cloud industry.

“We are very pleased to have the endorsement and support of the SIIA for our Cloud Channel Summit, and believe our partnership will provide added benefits to the attendees, speakers and sponsors of our mutual events,” Marc Sternberg, President, Rising Tide Media, a producer of industry events focused on key issues in high growth markets.

THINKstrategies, the Cloud Computing Showplace, Rising Tide Media and SIIA strongly encourage participation at both conferences, which are conveniently timed to be just a week apart. Visit their respective websites,www.AllAboutMobile.net and www.CloudChannelSummit.com for registration details, as well as speaking and sponsorship opportunities.
