They are joined by the likes of Neil Muller, CEO of Daisy Group, Duncan Gooding, COO at TalkTalk Business and James Marshall, CTO for Small & Medium-Sized Businesses at Microsoft UK as part of the free seminar programme.

David Dungay, Content Director at Channel Live added: “This is the biggest free seminar programme we have ever staged for the Channel. We are thrilled to welcome so many big names to the event and excited to cover so much ground in the seminar content. It promises to be a packed couple of days, and we would urge visitors to plan their visits in advance so they don’t miss out.”
Running alongside the seminar programme, sponsored by Knight Corporate Finance, is an exhibition featuring 150 suppliers. The brand new event, which is sponsored by TalkTalk Business, promises to help resellers, VARs and other Channel partners meet, network and discuss opportunities face to face with vendors and solution providers.
