Hosted by Ingram Micro's Direct and Consumer Markets Division,
the bi-annual event offers a high-value networking and education
venue for channel partners who offer custom IT solutions for small
to mid-size businesses (SMBs), as well as midmarket enterprises.
With more than 30 manufacturer sponsors, the three-day event places
heavy emphasis on adjacent and emerging technologies such as cloud
computing, convergence, managed services, mobile and digital
signage, as well as other, more advanced technology areas including
infrastructure-as-a-service, security and high-performance
computing.
"Given their roots in system building and integration services,
members of our System ArchiTECHS community are well positioned to
address the growing demand for customized IT services and
solutions," says Ryan Grant, event host and senior director,
Document Imaging and Components Business Units, Ingram Micro U.S.
"We've designed this event with partner enablement in mind, and put
together a high-impact agenda that will build on our members'
successes and help them to gain a better understanding of the
market drivers, resources and business opportunities that lie
ahead."
Attendees will hear from a variety of business and industry
leaders throughout the Invitational including Ingram Micro's Tim
Ament, vice president and general manager, Ingram Micro Direct and
Consumer Markets U.S.; as well as Lawrence M. Walsh, president and
CEO of The 2112 Group and David Allen, North American distribution
sales manager for Intel. Motivational speaker Peter Vidmar, an
Olympic gold medal winner and former gymnast, will seek to inspire
attendees with his thoughts on the importance of taking calculated
risks and continually innovating in order to bring products and
services to new levels of performance.
Additionally, Paul Dippell, CEO of Service Leadership, will
present the results of a recent benchmark study surrounding
best-in-class financial performance of the System ArchiTECHS
community. Paul Seed, CEO of Startech.com, is also set to deliver a
keynote that promises to provide valuable insight into how solution
providers can develop a strong brand without overextending
themselves.
Keeping with Ingram Micro's commitment to give back to the
communities it visits, the Fall 2012 System ArchiTECHS Invitational
will also host a charity event and silent auction benefiting the
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater New Orleans.
"The Ingram Micro System ArchiTECHS community represents many of
the industry's top system builders and technology integrators, and
