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.
