THINKstrategies, the Cloud Computing Showplace and Rising Tide Media are accepting speaker proposals for the Second Annual Cloud Channel Summit on Monday, November 5, at the Computer History Museum in Mt. View, CA.

The Cloud Channel Summit is a peer-to-peer networking forum designed to bring together senior business development and channel management executives from leading Cloud and Channel companies, both established and emerging, interested in sharing industry best practices for building successful partner relationships in the Cloud.

Last year’s inaugural Cloud Channel Summit attracted over 190 attendees, 31 speakers, 19 industry association and media partners, and 17 corporate sponsors who participated in 11 highly interactive sessions during the full-day event. Click here see the video highlights from the Summit, here to see the session videos, and here to view one-on-one speaker interviews and testimonials.

Tech Data launched its StreamOne Solutions Store in January to provide a marketing, selling, provisioning and billing platform for Cloud providers and independent software vendors (ISVs) that want access to thousands of Tech Data reseller partners.
