Welcome to ChannelNEXT

ChannelNEXT is a uniquely Canadian channel experience focused on practical insights for the growth of MSPs, ITSPs, ISVs, VARs, vendors, and distributors. Get away from the office to a fantastic resort setting for a couple of days to experience a great blend of work, food, networking, and fun.

We'll cover four key areas:

1. Cybersecurity solutions and best business practices.
2. Digital Transformation in a digital-first world.
3. The impact of Artificial Intelligence on the channel.
4. The importance of sustainability.

Successful Managed Service Providers will share their secrets of success, focusing on effective strategies and lessons learned. Participating companies and presenters aim to provide valuable solutions and insights without sales pitches.

In the Lions' Den, vendors have three minutes to make their best pitch, allowing you to quickly assess if they are a good fit. The audience will even have the opportunity to vote for the best pitch, with cash prizes awarded!

ChannelNEXT also offers Mastermind Peer-Group sessions, allowing you to solve current pain points and experience the power of a peer network. Learn more or join a prominent peer group at Channel Partner Alliance.

Face-to-face social networking is a significant aspect of these events, giving you an opportunity to connect with industry professionals, your peers, and learn from their experiences.

Thanks to our sponsors, qualified MSPs, ITSPs, ISVs, and VARs are all welcome to attend the event for free. Special group rates are available for overnight accommodations (register early to secure availability).

If you're looking to develop or scale a sustainable and predictable managed-service recurring revenue business, ChannelNEXT is the perfect fit!

Join us and discover why our guests consistently rate us at 98 percent satisfaction. Even so, we continually work to improve the experience. For example, we like you to feel more like a participant and not just an attendee so there are several ways for you to help guide the content and questions that we tackle at the events. When you register, you will be able to submit whatever is in your mind.

Lastly, we are excited to announce the full availability of the Cybersecurity Defense Ecosystem (CDE) in Canada. This exclusive offering, available only at ChannelNEXT events, provides everything you need to build and scale your cybersecurity business. Don't miss out on this game-changing opportunity.
