Technology organizations recognize the role strategic partnerships play in the growth of their business and the innovation they foster through their joint technologies, solutions and services. As a result, the partner ecosystem is becoming increasingly competitive and complex, so Partner Marketing teams must continuously adapt and be nimble. Despite the rapid growth of strategic partnerships and ecosystems, the Partner community lacks insights, and has limited access to market trends and best practices for leaders and practitioners alike to improve their go-to-market efforts to, with and through partners.

In this session, Michael Latchford, host of the Partner Marketing Visionaries series and Global VP of Strategic Alliances & Partner Marketing Services at TechTarget, will open the first day of The Partner Marketing Visionaries Summit with thoughts on where the Partner community has been and where it is going. He will set the stage for the two days of peer-to-peer insight sharing, conversations and learnings between 30+ Partner Marketing executives from the most innovative technology companies around the globe.
