IDC Alliance 2022 | International Data Corporation (IDC) | 7 November 2022 | InterContinental Fujairah Resort, an IHG Hotel, Al Aqah Beach Dibba Road - Fujairah - UAE

The event will showcase the latest channel and alliance trends, while recognizing those organizations that build, maintain, and foster solid partner ecosystems. This year's theme is BUILD. As partners hunt for new customers, strive for increased brand awareness, and realize the need to differentiate, a series of BUILD presentations will unlock many of the most common challenges.

Constraints around resources, budgets, and legacy are threatening partner hopes of true transformation. The channel recognizes that change is required, but partners want direction and execution tools to create viable strategies and road maps.

IDC Alliance will lay out the building blocks for attainable future growth, outlining how partners can:
• BUILD a sustainable base of new customers
• BUILD a viable marketing strategy
• BUILD long-lasting unique IP
• BUILD stronger internal practices
• BUILD a deeper support ecosystem
