Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today welcomed 350 channel partners
from North America and Latin America, as well as Europe, Asia
Pacific, the Middle East and Africa to its first International
Solutions Partner Invitational.
Taking place May 8-10 in Hollywood, Fla., the inaugural event is
being hosted by Ingram Micro's Specialty Solutions Divisions and
sponsored by 15 technology vendors including Signature Sponsors
Motorola Solutions and Psion, now part of Motorola Solutions, and
Platinum Sponsors Axis Communications, Elo Touch Solutions and
Intermec.
Themed "Mix it Up," the Invitational is designed to inspire the
600-plus vendor and reseller partners in attendance to think about
business differently in 2013, and seek out new market adjacencies
and cross-over technologies and service opportunities that will
help them grow faster and more profitably says Justin Scopaz,
co-host and executive director, Data Capture/POS and Physical
Security, Ingram Micro Specialty Division, U.S.
"The rapid advancements in specialized technologies, such as
mobility, cloud, data capture/POS, ProAV/digital signage and
physical security, are changing how business gets done, as well as
how people live and interact day-in and day-out," says Scopaz.
"Ingram Micro's Specialty Solutions Divisions are at the forefront
of this revolutionary change and working hard to help channel
partners identify new and incremental business opportunities across
the board on local, regional and global scale."
The 2013 International Solutions Partner Invitational spotlights
these fast-growth sales opportunities, while offering channel
partners insight around industry best practices and market trends
including where the markets are heading and what channel partners
need to do to better position their business for success now, and
in the future.
Throughout the event, attendees will hear from speakers
including Scott Deming, a customer service and emotional brand
building expert; Juliann Larimer, vice president of worldwide
channels and sales operations for Motorola Solutions; and Paul Bay,
president, Ingram Micro North America; as well as the regional
leaders from Ingram Micro North America, Latin America, Europe,
APAC and the Middle East and Africa. Breakouts and workshops around
specific technologies, markets and lines of business including data
capture/POS, physical security, ProAV/Digital Signage, retail,
hospitality, healthcare and public sector, as well as marketing,
sales management and human resources will also take place during
the event.
The Invitational's Solutions Pavilion will feature new Ingram
Micro vendors, including TSC Printers and APG Cash Drawer, as well
as more than 20 ISVs from across the Americas. Partners attending
the Pavilion will learn more about how to successfully build a
better business around emerging technologies and practice areas
