Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced its first Public
Sector Federal Summit taking place June 20 - 21 in Vienna, Va.
Tailored to the business and technology interests of Ingram Micro's
growing community of public sector channel partners, this two-day
event marks the IT channel's first and only distribution event
targeted specifically at the federal IT marketplace.
"Despite the current budget challenges, the federal market
continues to represent a great opportunity for Ingram Micro's
federal-focused channel partners," says Michael Humke, executive
director, Healthcare, Public Sector and Vertical Markets, Ingram
Micro U.S. "The federal market has evolved and is looking beyond
low-cost hardware purchases to real business solutions that will
help them drive change and reach their goals."
"Recognized as a business enabler for the IT industry, one of
our top priorities at Ingram Micro's 2012 Public Sector Federal
Summit is to discuss not only where these opportunities lie within
the federal market, but have our partners walk away with the
resources and the knowledge needed to develop these opportunities
and help them become a more valued resource to their customers,"
continues Humke. "We are here to help our channel partners identify
and leverage the right solutions and mix of technology so they can
help their customers save money and maximize their return when it
comes to investing in IT innovation."
To help channel partners gain and maintain a competitive edge,
Ingram Micro has stacked the Summit agenda with executive insights,
peer-to-peer discussion tracks; and panels focused on best
practices, key market trends and technologies impacting the federal
market.
Throughout the Summit, select council members from Ingram
Micro's new Public Sector Elite partner community will take main
stage to share their experiences and market insights with
attendees, as well as guest speakers Laura Posey, chief instigator,
Dancing Elephants; Brian Haney, senior vice president, Member
Services, Deltek; Mark Amtower, senior consulting partner, Amtower
& Company, and director, Government Market Master Program,
Capitol College; and Al Marshall, contract holder relationship
manager, NASA SEWP; as well as David Gallacher and Franklin Turner,
associates, Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP.
Additionally, Ingram Micro has secured several executive
keynotes from high-profile, public-sector vendors including Cisco,
Citrix Systems, HP, Motorola and Symantec. The Summit will conclude
with a networking, charity mixer dedicated to supporting the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
"Ingram Micro is bringing together a number of the federal IT
market's best and brightest minds to enable and inspire our channel
partners to simplify success and capitalize on the market
opportunity at hand by leveraging the growing number of
business-building resources and support services available to them
from Ingram Micro and our vendors," says John Fago, senior
director, Channel Marketing, Ingram Micro North America.
