"Distributors contribute to the health of the IT industry by enabling vendors large and small to train, supply and access the reseller community. We are delighted that finally an event has emerged that recognises our vital role in the value chain and we look forward to using this event to both deepen existing vendor to reseller relationships and develop new contacts"
