CO:LLABORATE quickly became the largest gathering of modern-day channel sales and marketing leaders in the world. Keynoted by Robert Herjavec, the two-day conference allowed global businesses to learn and share best practices while networking with their peers in the Channel.
"Indirect sales channels and partner ecosystems have proven critical to accelerated business growth and profitability, yet collaboration and innovation has lacked in this segment," said Scott Salkin, founder and CEO of Allbound. "A fundamental shift is taking place in which content, collaboration, culture customer success are being linked directly to profitability and growth, and business leaders are hungry for a new way of doing things. The attendance numbers were proof of that."
"We need more collaboration and cohesion in indirect sales and initiatives like CO:LLABORATE are key to stimulating that in this industry," said Tiffani Bova, Global Customer Growth and Innovation Evangelist at Salesforce. "This conference brought people together on both sides of the equation -- channel marketers and sales partners -- to have the all-important conversations around collaboration."
In addition to plans for next year''s conference, Allbound also announced CO:LLABORATE Local, a localized networking community initiative of channel sales and marketing leaders that they plan to bring to cities around the US and Canada in 2017. CO:LLABORATE Local community members can meet monthly to network, share their experiences, and develop great programs and relationships to lead their world in the Channel.
"My hope is that CO:LLABORATE becomes so much more than an annual conference, but truly the heartbeat of the evolving Channel Sales and Marketing industry," said Scott Salkin, CEO and Founder at Allbound. "We feel a deep responsibility to continue our facilitation of idea exchange and networking amongst the greatest thinkers and doers in the Channel community."
