We are excited to announce that tickets are on sale for Pipeline 2025, and to tell you about the theme - Channel Alliances: Forging the Future - and initial session topics and speakers: https://lnkd.in/gDsDFqM7 Taking place from August 12 to 14 on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Pipeline 2025 recognises that traditional technology partnerships are evolving. Technology partners are using new relationships to improve their bottom line, build more valuable ties with customer, keep up with security demands, grow specialist credentials, engage in M&A and achieve other goals. With this in mind, Pipeline 2025 will have a special focus on how new and old partnerships are being assessed in light of market shifts around security and compliance, cloud, platform simplification, automation, customer maturity and other factors. Also at Pipeline 2025: - We will present our inaugural 2025 Australian MSP Index Report about the Australian MSP landscape and MSP maturity and activities. - Trevor Clarke, Co-Founder and Asia Pacific Research Director, Tech Research Asia, will be back with his update on which way he sees the industry headed. - Once again, Pipeline 2025 attendees will also get a different perspective on issues they deal with, from people with fascinating stories outside the technology industry. - Resilience, teamwork, determination, motivation and goal setting will be on the agenda in what is bound to be a powerful session with Damien Thomlinson, former commando who experienced a life-altering explosion in Afghanistan. - Shane Heal's journey took him from humble beginnings to global success as a four-time Olympian and NBA player, to being a coach and mentor, and into business. Pipeline attendees will spend an afternoon with Shane in what will be a memorable experience for anyone interested in mental toughness and adapting to change. - That’s in addition to insights from owners and leaders of technology businesses about their professional challenges, and opportunities to boost personal and business profiles on ChannelTV, to learn in interactive workshops, line up meetings with vendors, partners, distributors and others, hear from peers in breakout sessions, and enjoy vibrant networking activities, the Impact Awards and a lot more.  To lock in 2024 pricing, buy your tickets before Australia Day 2025.
