"Partner Connections is a must for solution providers who are eager
to grow and expand their current business models and want to engage
Ingram Micro and our IT manufacturer partners to learn more about
what technologies and resources are available to them today." The
Spring 2009 Ingram Micro Partner Connections Summit features a

informative keynotes. Featured presenters include industry

capture and point-of-sale, managed services, mobile workforce,
peripherals, security and storage, as well as desktop and server

who are not actively involved in an Ingram Micro partner community
up to date on the latest technologies, market insight and sales
opportunities so they can provide an even deeper level of value to
their end user clients," says Jeff Marks, co-host and Ingram Micro
