Dedicated to cultivating IT channel partner success, Ingram Micro
Inc. (NYSE: IM) is pleased to announce its North American
VentureTech Network (VTN) Fall 2011 Invitational, taking place in
Las Vegas, Oct. 16-19.
More than 750 attendees will convene at this year's event, which
is themed, "The Future is Ours," emphasizing the many business
opportunities and outlets for growth potential that exist for VTN
IT solution provider members. At the Invitational, these members
will collaborate with Ingram Micro's IT channel and solution
experts and work alongside the distributor's vendor partners to
learn how to grow their IT businesses faster and more effectively
than any one partner could do on their own.
"We've assembled together the top North America-based solution
providers, managed service providers (MSPs) and IT channel chiefs
from industry leaders such as CA, Cisco, HP, IBM, Microsoft and
Xerox. It's a tremendous opportunity to take in the best that the
industry has to offer -- all at a single venue," says John Fago,
Ingram Micro's senior director of channel marketing for North
America.
Gartner, Inc.'s Tiffani Bova, along with IT luminaries such as
HP's Stephen DiFranco, IBM's Harris Warsaw, and Microsoft's Cindy
Bates, will all take center stage to share industry insights and
business growth opportunities with the VTN community. Paul Bay,
executive vice president of Ingram Micro North America, as well as
other Ingram Micro executives, will also be on hand to speak.
A VTN highlight will be a presentation by Tony Hseih, CEO of
Zappos.com, Inc. and author of the book, "Delivering Happiness."
The agenda also includes an exclusive preview of the new Ingram
Micro Cloud e-commerce platform, with executives from Fujitsu,
NetEnrich and Siemens also sharing key insights on the latest cloud
technologies.
Mastermind Peer Groups Designed to Hone
Business Strategy, Leadership Skills In addition, in-depth
Mastermind peer group sessions and Mastermind members-only events
will be held throughout VTN. Mastermind groups, launched in 2010
and exclusive to VTN, are open to highly committed owners,
presidents and CEOs of Ingram Micro partners looking to hone their
business strategies, strengthen their leadership abilities and
increase profitability.
"The VTN community is a collaborative force that takes our
members to new heights in their businesses. These individuals
continue to lead the industry with their business and technology
expertise, creating demand for new solutions and services that
drive growth and success for their customers," says Fago. "The
valuable support that our Mastermind programs provide is second to
none, and we look forward to the role they'll play as part of the
outstanding program we have in store."
The Ingram Micro VTN community is represented by more than 400
members throughout North America and boasts an estimated buying
power of more than $1 billion in Ingram Micro sales. In the U.S.
and Canada, Ingram Micro VTN members are recognized among the IT
industry's best, brightest and most successful solution providers
and MSPs.
"The VTN Invitationals are one-of-a-kind events that provide
members to interact with premier industry leaders and prominent
peers across North America. The two days inspire our members with
new ideas, partnerships and insight needed at this critical
juncture in the IT industry," says Jim Veraldi, executive vice
president of Denville, N.J.-based Micro Strategies, and
co-president of the VentureTech Council. "This year's Fall VTN in
Las Vegas is all about the community and growing our business
through strategic partnerships. We look forward to a great event --
The future is ours!"
