Jake Wallace
Awesome sounds fun @Manoj Ranaweera!

Jake Wallace
@channel What's your travel schedule? What conferences are you planning on attending? (Besides SaaS Connect in May simple_smile )
Jake Wallace
I'll be attending Affiliate Summit East, LeadsCon, Podcast Movement, Heroic Public Speaking and a few more TBD.
Karen Baker
I’ll be at ShopTalk, then Magento Imagine and Shopify Unite, IRCE
Jake Wallace
Nice! I'm considering IRCE as well...
Sunir Shah
It seems all ecommerce conferences are stacked back to back
Sunir Shah
Well I guess irce is a bit later.
Rony Moyal

Kemp at POWr.io
Yes, heading to Cloudfest this weekend.
Liana Antanovich
Hi there! I am new to this chat. I am with ActivePlatform, we exhibit at CloudFest in Rust, Germany, then check out RSA, OX Summit and Cloud Channel Expo - all in April in the USA. What is SaaS Connect in May? URL?
Jake Wallace
Hi @Liana Antanovich More info on SaaS Connect can be found here. We'll all be there ! http://www.cloudsoftwareassociation.com/saas-connect/

Manoj Ranaweera
Planning to attend http://northerntechawards.com/ Edinburgh in the UK this month.
Manoj Ranaweera
Not to steal your thunder, but if anyone is willing to help us with http://www.techcelerate.ventures/saastmsf18/ do reach out. Immediate needs are around securing two more company visits on 30th April and venue and sponsors for 3rd May main networking event.

Personally in addition to discussing partner opportunities for www.unified.vu, I am keen to understand your efforts regards to the UK, and identify where we might be able to help.
Jeff Cole
@channel Hi All, I’m headed to Shoptalk this weekend. Anyone else? Would love to meet up for a drink if anyone is interested. Let me know
Jake Wallace
@Karen Baker is @Jeff Cole
Chris
Anybody at Adobe Summit week of March 26?
Jake Wallace
@channel Are you going to SaaS Connect 2018 (May 1st & 2nd in SF) meaning you already bought your tickets or are planning on attending, meaning will be buying tickets to attend? Awesome! You should join the channel #saasconnect and start connecting with those will be be attending. Start setting meetings, learning more about who's attending and more!
Jake Wallace
If you’re planning on heading to SaaS Connect (less than 4 weeks out! Woohoo tada ) I suggest inviting friends. I’m planning on sending an email out to our ecosystem inviting them to the conference. Highlighting the agenda and how awesome it is to meet with partners face to face!
Jake Wallace
is anyone here planning on attending this? https://b2smbi.com/the-b2smb-institute-leaders-forum/
Scott D Epter
Hi @Jake Wallace. Had never heard of them. Looks interesting.
Jake Wallace
Yeah, I thought so too. Some decent companies speaking too.
Jake Wallace
Let's do it simple_smile
Randy
Is anyone attending the channel partners show in Las Vegas next week?
Karen Baker
Nope, but will be in Vegas for Magento Imagine Sunday onwards
Sunir Shah
@David Leary sweet
Robert Rand
@Karen Baker See you in Vegas for Magento Imagine (and Pre-Imagine)! @Randy I'll be hopping over for meetings and parties at NetSuite's Suiteworld too, but not the Channel Partners show. Sounds like a busy tech week in Vegas. Anyone else heading out to Las Vegas this week?
Scott D Epter
Anybody heading to New Orleans for Collision next week?
Steven Larsen
Was planning on it but conflicted with SaaS Connect
Karen Baker
I’ve been to this before. Can’t say I enjoyed it was a lot of really small guys. Some of the talks were good but was weird setup with sessions inside main hall
Karen Baker
New Orleans was great tho :)
Brian Rainboth
Wow what a great Day 1!! So glad I made the trip. Look forward to tomorrow!!
Jake Wallace
I agree!
Robert Rand
What a great 2 days! I'm very glad to have joined for my first SaaS Connect. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you next week in Toronto for Shopify Unite, and perhaps a couple of you in Sao Paolo, Brazil the following week for VTEX Day!
Matt Scoble
:+1: to what @Robert Rand said!
Remington Rainey
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and for a great event and a very valuable knowledge base. Very helpful to us at busybusy!
Jake Wallace
I know we’re only a day removed from SaaS Connect 2018 but, who’s looking forward to SaaS Connect 2019? man-raising-hand
Sunir Shah
Starting to plan. Need to decide when and book the venue again. :)
Robert Rand
Check out https://etailinsights.com/resources/ecommerce-trade-shows/ for a list of common eCommerce events to watch out for. Some are more pivotal than others. It's not an exhaustive list, but it's pretty comprehensive.
Matt Mariani (Red Hat)
Any highlights or things-to-know to pass along for those who couldn't attend?
Jake Wallace
I'll be posting videos as soon as their available.
Sunir Shah
@here who’s in Toronto for Shopify Unite?
Jake Wallace
@Robert Rand ^
Jeff Cole
anyone in San Diego for ATD?
Jake Wallace
Anyone here planning on attending this or have you? http://apiworld.co/
Jake Wallace
I'd love more information if possible
Nicolas Grenié
did not have a good experience last year (first time I attented APIworld) not community focused, empty rooms, you dont get what you paid for neither as an attendee or as a sponsor
Nicolas Grenié
go check better API conference like APIstrat or APIdays
Jake Wallace
Thanks for the feedback
Thomas (SaneBox)
Anyone going to https://www.appdirect.com/engage ? if so - anyone have coupon codes simple_smile
Greg Sweeney
AppDirect was at SaaS Connect. Maybe try https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-marder-2852613a/
Robert Rand
I'll be at nChannel's booth at the BigCommerce Growth Summit in Chicago on Tuesday, followed by a few days at our IRCE Booth (#480). Anyone else going to be at either event? I've been putting together a list of related meetups and events happening next week in Chicago around IRCE if anyone is interested: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urnliactivity:6407823648052310017
Greg Sweeney
Wish I could attend SaaStock on Tour...there are a few discount codes available.....US-SCALE is one of them.
Barak Kaufman
I’m traveling but our VP Strategy (Michoel Ogince) will be there
Sean Matthews
I think I am @Jake Wallace
Sean Matthews
@Jake Wallace you going?
Jake Wallace
No, not this year...
Sean Matthews
thumbsup I’ll be in NYC, figured I would check to see if you’re around! We have some modeling to run by you FWIW, but that aside would be good to catch up on the NBA too nerd_face

hi all.. if anyone is coming to #GoogleCloudNext18 in san francisco from July 23-27, let me know if you would like to meetup /connect to folks from Google
Rob Balasabas at TubeBuddy
Curious, is anyone going to https://vidsummit.com in October? Or in the LA area? We might organize a Thinkific Meetup while we're there, would love to meet you in person if you are simple_smile
Sunir Shah
I’m prepping the INBOUND happy hour. Anyone interested in chipping in for a customer-facing happy hour? I’d keep your costs < $3k in return for the attendee list (target 200-400)
Thomas (SaneBox)
Does anyone have promo code/discounts to AppDirect Engage?
Joel Slatis
Does anyone here go to SaaStr? We've never gone. Any insight on this conference would be much appreciated. We're in San Jose, so it seems like an easy fit, but it's pricey.
Gabriel Dillon
Hey Joel, Algolia has been going for a number of years, and our CEO has been a featured speaker a couple of times. Happy to answer any questions you have.
Gabriel Dillon
I've attended two, but as a team we've done a ton of stuff with them (it helps that Jason Lemkin is a good investor in our company).
Scott D Epter
Hi Joel. We sent one of our salespeople (who is outside Reading) last year. Sounds pretty big.
Kyle Spencer
Hi, Joel! Our CEO and another director went last year. They got a lot of education value out of it and some good networking value out of it too. I plan to go to the next one.
Jason Hamilton
Hi @Joel Slatis.. this will be our third time in a row. Quality of the talks and networking opportunity is big for us.
Kasey Bayne (Pocketed)
We're looking at going next year as well!
Greg Sweeney
SaaStr is really a who's who of the SaaS world. I've attended for 3 consecutive years and learned about SaaS Connect through SaaStr!
Barak Kaufman
I attended last year and it was the best conference I’ve ever been to! It was incredibly educational and very relevant to scaling a SaaS company. Also, the people you spontaneously meet are pretty incredible.
Scott D Epter
SaaStock (saastock.com) is holding their annual conference in Dublin in October. If anyone's interested in sponsoring they've told me they will give discounts for CSA members that are first-time sponsors. I can connect you.
Sunir Shah
@Scott D Epter can you (re)connect me to them by email and I’ll get them in the newsletter
Sunir Shah
thanks for hooking that up
Scott D Epter
done. my pleasure
Jamie Tharp
Hi, all! Who's going to Shopify Pursuit NYC Sept 20-21?

Thomas (SaneBox)
Anyone going to ConnectWise IT Nation 2018? if so - how valuable are the breakout sessions?
Sunir Shah
@Thomas (SaneBox) the http://reddit.com/r/msp subreddit is a good place to ask
Thomas (SaneBox)
awesome
Sunir Shah
they half love and half hate connectwise, so I imagine you can get some real info
Thomas (SaneBox)
thakns
Thomas (SaneBox)
Might attend Microsoft Ignite as well - have you been?
Sunir Shah
I lurk there. it’s fun. it’s like a cantankerous Polish men’s drinking club (perhaps that’s a Toronto thing)
Sunir Shah
I haven’t yet.
Sunir Shah
I heard great things from INSPIRE that just, er, transpired
Sunir Shah
I only 50% did that for the pun
Sunir Shah
@Thomas (SaneBox) I can’t imagine how you’re not all over the Microsoft channel program
Sunir Shah
SaneBox + O365 = channel glory
Thomas (SaneBox)
yea we are going all in on that
Sunir Shah
I hope including the fashionably questionable swag polo shirts that come with the territory
Sunir Shah
The Microsoft swag fashion is one software partnership mystery I think I will never solve.
Thomas (SaneBox)
LOL
Dina Moskowitz
Hi Guys... IT Nation is a great conference to meet channel partners in the IT space (not so much the biz apps space). Really strong partner community. We went to Software Exec Forum last year....its not really an event where you'll meet reseller partners but its a good event for software execs. The organizers are great people and i'm hoping they evolve the conference over time to draw in reseller partners. @Dina Moskowitz will be at ChannelPro Boston in early September, a concentrated one day channel event which draws 100-200 MSPs - (we bring SaaS vendors from our catalog to showcase in our booth at lower cost to them). We also will be at Channel Partners Evolution in Philly in October which is a 3 day 2000-3000 attendees in the IT/Cloud/Telecom/MSP channel (we also bring SaaS vendors from our catalog to showcase in our booth at lower cost than the show). Happy to share more with anyone who's got questions.
Thomas (SaneBox)
Question about Ignite, first time going - should we be attending all the days? Is it necessary?
Chris Lucas
Has anyone here heard of/attended https://empowerb2b.com/
Sunir Shah
@Chris Lucas it’s only been on once before. Sachin Agarwal runs it.
Sunir Shah
I can make an intro if you want
Sachin Agarwal
@Chris Lucas lemme know if you have any questions - is my email address
Sachin Agarwal
It’s very much a product and growth conference, and it’s targeted at founders, investors, and VP/director levels. Any folks that do partnerships that require integrations should come.
Sean Matthews
@Sachin Agarwal How about folks who like to help bridge the integration gap for those partnerships? (i.e. we’re largely a service provider, offering API distribution/management services on a subscription model)
Sachin Agarwal
Well, it’d be a prospect rich environment for you, so yeah. :)
Sean Matthews
smile At the moment, I’m very interested in just listening to people talk through those pain points and the dynamics. Any content/conversations geared towards that, or mostly that’s ad-hoc?
Sachin Agarwal
Probably ad hoc as partnerships/integrations are a particular tactic. The director of bizdev from JustWorks, Molly Sims, is talking about partnerships generally
Scott D Epter
Hi all...just a reminder about this conference tomorrow in NYC. Content looks great. Use promo code "ABBY" for a free pass:

https://www.softwareexecutiveforum.com/agenda/new-york-city/
Dina Moskowitz
@Scott D Epter how was the conference?
Scott D Epter
@Dina Moskowitz It was superb. Content was engaging, Crowd was made up of the right people and the networking sessions were productive. Many people interested in CSA.
Dina Moskowitz
:+1:
Sunir Shah
@Scott D Epter their Software Executive magazine is really good as well. And this is a good reminder that I have to poke Abby to remind her I agreed to promote her events. simple_smile
Scott D Epter
@Sunir Shah Abby's great. Not sure if she came to us or we found them but I'm really glad to know her. I met her counterpart for Channel Executives there too. @Dina Moskowitz do you know Matt Pillar? If not I'd be happy to connect you.
Dina Moskowitz
HI Guys...i think i might have introduced you to Abby, @Sunir....we've been attending and promoting their events for several years. Really nice people to partner with.

Jake Wallace
I’ll be at B2SMBi’s Global Conference which is the same days
Blair Beckwith (Railspur)
Anybody at Klaviyo:BOS that I should meet?
Sunir Shah
@Andy Fowler not this year. I’ve been talking with the BoS folks to do more together in general though. It’s been such an institution over the past decade.
Dina Moskowitz
Morning. Just want to let you all know that SaaSMAX will be at Channel Partners Evolution next week 10/10- 10/12 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. Its a great opportunity to get the lay of the land of the IT Channel and meet serious reseller partners face to face (MSPs, VARs, Cloud Service Providers, MSSPs, Microsoft partners, etc. - the consultants/trusted advisors who sell/resell to SMBs/SMEs). If you want more info LMK or reach out to

Scott Varner
Anyone else going to AppDirect Engage or Money 20/20 this month?
Scott Varner
Would love to meet and connect with any fellow CSA folks!
Sunir Shah
I wish I could hit both, selfishly. You’ll see the AppBind logo at Money 20/20
Sunir Shah
however, since I was on the road for 2 weeks, I am out of wife points. simple_smile
Scott Varner
Those points are often in short supply
Dina Moskowitz
Hi so if you're near Philly next week and you're a SaaS looking to partner with B2B resellers who already partner with microsoft, cisco, IBM, telcom/voip providers, etc. LMK as we'll be at Channel Partners Evolution and we have a few free passes left for the Expo Hall.

Blair Beckwith (Railspur)
On that note: anyone going to BigCommerce's tech partner event in Austin next week?
Alison Aldrich
@Blair Beckwith (Railspur) - I'll be there

Sachin Agarwal
Just wanted to remind folks that CSA members can get 20% off tickets to Empower with discount code CSA - https://empowerb2b.com. 24 speakers and 250 attendees, all in B2B product, growth, partnerships, and distribution. It's the second year of the conference and it's generally only senior leadership that attends because it's during the day and we're pretty good about targeting the right folks. Early Bird tickets are on sale now but will go up in price after the 15th. Happy to answer any questions y'all might have.
Clement Bruneau
@here who will be at Twilio signal next week?
Sachin Agarwal
Just wanted to remind folks that CSA members can get 40% off tickets to Empower with discount code CSA - https://empowerb2b.com/tickets . 24 speakers and 250 attendees, all in B2B product, growth, partnerships, and distribution. Thrilled to have Molly Siems from JustWorks speaking about partnerships, and there's a lot of talks about SaaS distribution in general. Would love to see y'all there and happy to answer any questions you all have. (Up from 20% before since Early Birds are no longer on sale.)
Jeff Cole
@here headed to Oracle Open World next week! Let me know if you're around and want to talk about third-party integration for your apps!

Haha, nice.

Hey folks, random conference question – how valuable do you all find conferences like Saastr (https://www.saastrannual.com)?
George Kyriakis
Jeff, I attended SaaStr last year along with one of my team members, and found it very valuable in that the content was relevant to my dept's mandate and attendees were peers so it made for excellent networking and business
Thomas (SaneBox)
for first timers - any tips/advice/things we should be doing? our team is already signed up for the sessions.
George Kyriakis
Plan to attend again this year with 1-2 of my team.

thumbsup thanks @George Kyriakis I was thinking on the level of partnerships – I’m guessing that’s the networking/business aspect you referred to?
Cayla Shortley

Jennifer Chang (Tray.io)
If anyone’s going to be at Oracle MCX 3/19-3/21 Las Vegas, dm me! Would be great to meet some partner folks out there.
Sunir Shah
@George Kyriakis what kind of devs do you want to meet/
Sunir Shah
your own customers are also a really good source of devs
George Kyriakis
Yep, we can reach out own customers easily enough, but looking to better connect with a community of 3rd party app developers who create widgets and add-ons. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sean Matthews
Not sure about the ones who specifically create widgets and add-ons, but there are some API specific online communities that may be good to look at (and possibly find some app devs)

Hey folks, I could use a minute of your time. I’m booking SaaS Connect 2020 and I want to avoid scheduling during other conferences our members MUST go to.

Can you please doublecheck and add any major conferences missing from this list please?

Hey All! Vanilla has organized a 3 day (free) bootcamp (5/28-5/30) focusing on community and customer experience managers. Speakers include Hubspot, Qualtrics, Vidyard, Winning by Design, Lately, Demand Metric, and UpContent. Since I can't entice you with a discount, I hope the content and community is enough: https://pages.vanillaforums.com/cmgr-bootcamp?utm_source=upcontent

Anyone been to Inspire before? Not getting a booth. Which days are the best to go? Event is from 7/14-7/18

I’m not going to lie to you, that is a pricey conference, but they sell out

Heath Allen
Hello @here Hoping to rely on the community for some insight/suggestions. I’ve been tasked with coming up with a list of recommended conferences for our strategic partnerships team to attend for the rest of 2019 but also will need to make recommendations for 2020. I’ve know the HR Tech conference cycle like the back of my hand, but moving out of that space I’m not as familiar. Certainly know the marquee company specific events Dreamforce, OpenWorld, F8, etc. But would love to know which conferences you think are most valuable for making connections with potential new partners in your space. Ideal partners that we hope to meet at these events have large customers bases with significant reach specifically into the SMB space. Hiring is a vertical agnostic activity so all are under consideration and our reach is global so our conference schedule will be too. If you have a list of “must attend” events which have had a high ROI in regards to new partner engagement/acquisition would love to get those - and if you have a list of conferences that are a bust, that is valuable too. Feel free to start a conversation thread here or DM me. Thanks in advance if you’re able to help.
Heath Allen
I had not seen this yet. Thank you very much How curated do you think this list is in regards to the stated goals of acquiring new partners?
Dominic Mendiola
Nice! Thank you for sharing Cristina!
Cristina Flaschen
For the record, I didn’t come up with this! It was posted here a few months back. Just wanted to share since it’s a great list!
Sunir Shah
This is the set of conferences people mention over time to me.

Not all have the same ROI

Abby Sorensen
@Heath Allen I've been to Business of Software the past two years and it's excellent. I can't say enough good things about it. The event has such a loyal following that I've met execs who have attended 10+ years in a row, some of whom fly over from Europe for it! Let me know if you'd like an intro to the conference organizers (shoot me a note at )
Heath Allen
Thank you @Abby Sorensen! I really appreciate the feedback. I may end up taking you up on the offer once I get through getting approvals on the list of conferences for our team.
Alexander Shyshko
@Heath Allen Outreach Unleash is one heck of a show and I was fortunate to kick off the first one back in '17 - but ,taking my fan hat off simple_smile I think Collision and BoS may just have a better target audience for your business. If you are planning for 2020 I can also point to WebinarWorld thats been quickly doubling in size under the radar
Heath Allen
Thanks @Alexander Shyshko I appreciate the feedback.
Dustin Avol
anyone at the Slack Frontiers conference this week come by the Smartsheet booth and say hi!
Heath Allen
Hi @Dustin Avol I’m local to SF but won’t be able to make it to Slack’s event unfortunately. However I did want to connect because I’ve had Smartsheet on my list to contact. I’m in Strategic Partnerships for Indeed and would love to set up some time to chat about partnership opportunities between Indeed and Smartsheet. The work management tools offered by Smartsheet seem like they would allow for a natural integration with Indeed. I’ll send you a message on LinkedIn too and hope to connect soon
Robert Rand
Anyone else heading down to eMerge Americas in Miami next week?

Anyone planning on going to Startup Grind Europe in early June?
Sarah Mouton
Have you been to previous editions? Is it a good place to meet with partners?
Jeff Gardner
I haven’t. I’m nearly sure I’m going to go though. Seems like an interesting place to chat with up and coming startups. Good new partner outreach territory.
Sarah Mouton

Anyone heading to HubSpot Platform Partner Day tomorrow in Boston? Would be great to connect! muscle:+1:
Heath Allen
I’m considering SaaStr Europe next month, but don’t know how developed it is in Europe. I’ve attended the event in US in the past, but I was not in my current role yet when this year’s US event happened so didn’t go and was wondering if the event in Paris is worth attending.
Eric Chan
What are you trying to achieve? My company is exhibiting...
Mawghan at PieSync
I went last year with the PieSync team and it was a nice small get together type event no where near the size of Saastr but I enjoyed it
Heath Allen
Guess I missed your responses so my apologies for not replying sooner. Mostly was looking to find new partners for Indeed. Decided the Europe version probably isn’t large enough to have ROI so going to pass on it this year. Might do SaaStock or Web Summit/Rise instead
Eric Chan
Saastock is smaller than SaaSEuropa in general. WebSummit/Rise are very large, so the ROI might be hard to quantify based on the audience
Heath Allen
Really? I got the impression that SaaStock was about double the number of attendees, so that’s surprising to hear.
Richard Bernstein
anyone going to SiriusDecisions Summit next week in Austin?
Tori Barlow
Anyone going to women of the channel west this month?!

Sarah Mouton
@Mawghan at PieSync ^
Eric Chan
@Ankit Dudhwewala What aspect? We are a global sponsor of SaaStock
Ankit Dudhwewala
@Eric Chan am planning to go one of SaaStock in dublin or tractionconf in canada
Eric Chan
our company has been to both - what are you trying to achieve? Networking, Sales leads?? SaaStock is perhaps their largest (150-200), but still probably smaller than traction conf (1000)
Scott Brooks
Traction con was a learning conference. There were more great sessions at that conference then we could take in. Every time-slot was a hard choice between great sessions.
Scott Brooks
It was probably the best conference I have been to for learning specifically around growth.
Ankit Dudhwewala

@Tyrone Lingley what’s the mix of in-house to agencies there?
Tyrone Lingley
Which reminds me, @here if anyone has a product that is trying to reach marketers, particularly in the agency, SaaS, or E-comm segments, we have some sponsorship opportunities left. Really high touch and quite interactive with all of our attendees. https://unbounce.com/ctaconf-sponsorship-2019/

Thomas (SaneBox)
Anyone attending Inspire next week?
Aaron Hayes-Roth
Hey - anyone have any experience at this event? Any advice on quality? https://www.comptia.org/channelcon/home
Sunir Shah
CompTIA is the largest association in the IT and MSP space by far. If you are working in that area it makes sense to go there to connect with all the major players.

However MSPs are a tough market for SaaS so make sure if it your first time you make contact with friendly MSPs to help you navigate the conference and make introductions.

I am not sure Zignal is in the MSP space though? I though you were martech?

(Edit: Yesterday I relayed a story about an analyst from the traditional channel I met there that was very frustrating and tried to laugh not cry but it was pretty negative and stupid of me to write. I deleted the thread in the interest of staying positive.)
Thomas (SaneBox)
How many of you would be interested in attending a productivity conference?
Thomas (SaneBox)
Speakers in tech talk about productivity trends, tips, and tricks.

Sunir Shah
@Bre-An Appler do we have the event submission form handy? We should pin it in this channel and #meetups as well
Thomas (SaneBox)
We are looking at which 2019 conferences to re-attend in 2020. Which ones will you be attending again for sure?
Thomas (SaneBox)
For us we are making a push in the channel partner space, so we will be going to: Cloudfest, Ingram Micro Summit, Microsoft Inspire.
Eric Chan
Could you elaborate on Cloudfest - have not been. Also, why is Inspire a good event? This one I am evaluating for 2020. Thanks.
Thomas (SaneBox)
Inspire - mainly to connect w/ Microsoft contacts. We would only go for 2 days again only. Highly recommend booking meetings in advance.

Cloudfest - we used to get a booth, but this year we will pass on that and just walk the conference. Mainly to connect with a lot of our international clients. Central hub. Highly recommend booking meetings in advance.
Eric Chan
Thanks.

Any one attending Gartner reimagine HR in London this September?
Sunir Shah
How many people would like me to build a “who’s going to where” conference tracker?

How many of you would be willing to add your travel calendars so you can find other partner people at conferences you attend?

It would only work if people would add the data of where they are going, mind you.

Is there a service that does this already?
Sunir Shah
There was Lanyrd, but it’s defunct
Kasey Bayne (Pocketed)
Count me in on this! It'd be great to know who's going to catch up in person, and also to get those post-event reviews from ones I couldn't make in person.

I do monthly meetups (not every month, but occasionally) Hacking HR, HRHotSeat. Conferences: Reach Chicago 2019 on 9/26, Contemplating HRTech in LV 10/1-10/4, and CompCon in SF 10/21-10/22. Budget is definitely a consideration on our end.

Hi all — Chargify co-founder and CTO, Michael Klett, is organizing a meet-up around the SaaStr Scale event on August 29 in San Francisco to chat about billing and subscription best-practices with industry leaders.

Ashley at Clearbit
I'm a Yext alumni so I've been to Onward a few times. It's an incredibly well-produced event and the content lineups have always been impactful. Some topics fall explicitly under the "how to succeed with Yext" umbrella, but there's also a lot of discussion around general trends in search, martech, and the landscape that we all live in every day. I recommend at least checking out the agenda
Justin Williams
Thanks Ashley!

Will anyone here happen to be at the DAA OneConference in Chicago Oct 23-24?
Dina Moskowitz
Hi Everyone.. a showcase space just opened up in the SaaSMAX booth at Channel Pro Forum NY/NJ 1st week of November in case you'd be interested in getting in front of appx 200 MSPs and IT Solution Providers. Its a one day event and only appx 20-25 vendors. If interested definitely let me know & reach out to me in a direct message. All you'd need is a small standing retractable banner, your collateral and business cards. It includes the registration list and you only pay a fraction of what the booth typically costs, so its a really great ROI.

Tori Barlow
amazing, thank you!
Ashley Hildreth
Thanks for sharing, Sunir! We're working on our list as well. There are obviously several components to measuring success and impact from events and I'd be interested to hear from this group - Which metrics do you track to justify the investment?
Tori Barlow
@Ashley Hildreth That's something im working through now simple_smile i have my trusty spreadsheet but still figuring out KPIs... we've found success in having a main KPI be "to make friends". meaning build relationships overtime. I think creating opportunities from shows is another one im going to add to the kpi list.

I'm excited and honored to be presenting with Impartner at this years Dreamforce on Referral Partner programs. Impartner recently has seen a high level of interest in Referral programs from the channel community. We have been evolving our Referral Program for 17 years! The need to expand to adjacent partner networks, the evolution of referral partner systems and commission management tools have converged to make this the perfect time to start, or re-energize, your Referral Program!

Hi everyone! If anyone is going to be in San Diego for #SMMW20 and wants an excuse to go a bit early, would love for you to join me at JVOLOGY (Feb 21-23) at Torrey Pines (San Diego). I'm going as an attendee, to get right into leveling up my Joint Venture game.

Morning! Are you in or near Vegas next week? If so, next week is Channel Partners Conference & Expo 2020 in Las Vegas. Its a place to meet the IT/MSP/Security/cloud/telecom/communications channel sector with 350+ vendors and 1000+ reseller channel partners. Our booth was just given two extra expo passes to give away if you're able to make it to the Venetian/Sands on March 10, 11 or 12. LMK. -Dina
Jake Wallace
I won't be but, this is awesome!
Jenna Earnshaw
so many
Sunir Shah
It’s the only logical choice
Addison van Gulden
Hot take: Tech industry event trends change & decrease drastically next year as many companies and focused verticals find alternative means to goals or better ROI from alts to event attendance/sponsorship/exhibition etc.
Ashley Hildreth
was thinking the same!
Jazz S
Anyone else considering skipping SaaStr next week due to coronoavirus or am I the only paranoid one?
Sunir Shah
SaaStr is cancelled
Sunir Shah
You aren’t the only one
Sunir Shah
Our csa survey showed across all conferences only 30% of people were committed to all travel as of Monday. 44% had already begun cancelling. 25% were considering it
Cristina Flaschen
We pulled out
Cristina Flaschen
I just decided today
Cristina Flaschen
We didn’t sponsor or anything so less risk, more just annoying cancelling travel (and we were excited for the meetings) but such is life.
Cristina Flaschen
Also, maybe i’m paranoid also, but I had some serious concerns about how fast this is escalating and getting stuck in San Jose due to a travel ban or more spread in CA. We’re NYC based and that would be…. not great
Sunir Shah
That’s my main fear travelling to the US currently
Joseph Fung
Wow. That's a lot of changed fligths
Sunir Shah
We killed our cocktail party next week as well.
Cristina Flaschen
Whoaaaa
Cristina Flaschen
I didn’t think he would cancel. I’m glad, I want to meet everyone!
Sunir Shah
It’s just a cocktail party! high hat

Lisa Thoman Lawson
@Samuel (Frontify) We think we'll be able to offer in person sessions again this fall with some modifications, however the virtual small group sessions are working very well! So we may offer an exec strategy course remote in August! Would you be interested in that?

Hey Peeps! Do we have any awesome platforms and technology providers here that are helping freelancers and solopreneurs maximize their day to day professional life?

If so, I'm planning a virtual summit with the team at FreelanceU.com and I am helping them find guest speakers and partners.

They have a very large, highly engaged list of users and we would love to welcome some of the best software in the industry to come and add value by delivering a talk or offering a tech deal.

We're also we're also giving those who share the summit with their audience access to dedicated webinars as well.

Heather Smith
Hi @Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies) I'm a management accountant/ freelancer essentially for over a decade - a solution that comes to mind is the time tracking tool https://minutedock.com/ it helps you track time on client projects and then invoice them. I'm currently working on a webinar for a professional association - solo accountants - I could possibly rework something for your audience - with technology that accountants would use in it?
Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies)
@Heather Smith yeah lets have a chat as there could be a collaboration opportunity
Rachel Fisch
Hey @Heather Smith! Fancy meeting you here!
Marc Howard
Hi @Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies) I'm the cofounder of bizpayo.com and our platform has been delighting freelancers and consultants for several years now.

@Paddy McGill (PartnerPixel and Other SaaS Companies) We would be interested in helping out as well. TextExpander is perfect for Freelancers. We’ve written countless articles towards this niche already.

Happy Monday everyone - anyone participating in Black Hat this week?
Sandhya Gorman
Hi Danielle, I will be attending. Do you guys have a booth or are you doing any talks? Would love to connect with you.
Sunir Shah
@channel It’s time for an honest assessment of 2020's conference season. Everything is virtual now. Are virtual summits working for you or not?

• For learning as an attendee? • For networking as an attendee? • As a sponsor? I talk to a lot of conference organizers since we’re an association of their potential sponsors. Give me the low down of what’s good and bad, and maybe we can make it easier for these events to succeed for themselves and for us.
Danielle Simon
@Sunir Shah You have to lower your expectations of return for sure - taking the in person element out is just not the same. For learning it's about the same as in person - in some ways you can really set yourself up to pay attention at home. For networking, I think its night and day, but again if you have a few good conversations, than is worth it. Has to be a 1:1 element of conversation for there to be any value other than banter. The last event we sponsored was in February - we are being really cautious with commitments here because a lot of conference planners were looking for commitments without having their plans solidified. I think if you presented a well thought out program created for the covid world, it would go along way. Not just - commit and we will roll it out as we go. That approach builds no confidence. Hope that helps!
Peter Radizeski
YMWV depending on industry, but telecom conferences have all gone the way of the Meeting/Networking. Sessions and Keynotes are not worth the expense for the last few years. Very commercial - or the same keynote speakers over and over with the same (slightly tweaked) message. These same conferences were unprepared for virtual and just shoved the same content to a Zoom meeting. Personally, I think several conf companies implode. They got lazy and made money on booths - and now like newspapers have to completely pivot the business. The key for a good conference - engaging content, entertaining speakers, Q&A/AMA, and a Slack channel :)
Sunir Shah
Sounds like you’re listening in to my SaaS Connect plans
Peter Radizeski
simple_smile I have spoken and blogged about this repeatedly over the last 3 months
Sunir Shah
links?
Sunir Shah
I’ll read your thoughts. I am meeting with INBOUND this week for instance.
Peter Radizeski
one idea I had was to do the conference like an IGNITE event. 5 minutes, auto-scrolling slides. The speakers have to practice. Makes for better stories.
Sunir Shah
8 minutes seems to be the magic number before audience drops off for presentations
Sunir Shah
Our conversational talk show format is doing better
Sunir Shah
Has anyone had good networking experiences? I have only benefited from the speaker’s slack channel or if I finangle the attendee list.
Danielle Simon
Industry specific, but I participate in a live videocast The CISO Series each week and there is speed networking at the end - 5 5 minute virtual meetings. It's the highlight of my week.
Danielle Simon
I think the key is a direct connect in addition to the live videocast
Stacy L. Carlson
I’m starting to see virtual conferences being cancelled due to fatigue of the market.
Robert Rand
I've had some luck networking, but it depends on the platform the organizers use. For instance, Hopin.to has a feature that's reminiscent of speed dating. It connects participants randomly for time-boxed conversations. It's as close to chatting with folks you sit next to or bump into at a trade show as I've gotten in recent months.
Robert Rand
I've had some luck with Zoom conferences that automatically split people up into small rooms for networking breakout sessions to.
Robert Rand
Those feel like the exceptions to the rule though - I've cut back on virtual conferences because my time is in demand, and I haven't been getting as much out of virtual events, on average, as I'd want to.
Stephane Rioux (AppDirect)
For learning as an attendee, I would say the same, if not better, especially if there is enough time for Q&A at the end to further deep dive on a topics. For Networking, it is quite different, I tend to cherry pick presentation and add them to my schedule in between other tasks, so I have not been committed to the networking part and I guess the same may apply to many attendees. It is my opinion, but I do think that more regular/smaller targeted virtual event will be more effective overtime. Instead of a 2-3 days virtual event once a year, you may do a 3 hours event every quarter, but targeted on a specific subject and with some time to workshop/network in smaller group.
Eric Chan
I think if the content portion is shorter (no more than 3 hours) For networking, this is really tough - I think not enough platforms try to focus on the company, title or tags of that person in order to figure out how to engage. I think merging that with a chat client, like slack is an easier way to engage. otherwise, you're stuck doing the same thing in person as you do at conferences - staring awkwardly and squinting at someone's badge to see if you should engage and strike up a conversation. One thing that hasn't been great digitally is to network in pairs or small groups so that you can make intros to new people
Sunir Shah
We’re working on getting everyone in this Slack to improve their display names as well, somehow
Sunir Shah
It’s a big challenge
Stacy L. Carlson
I thought I was the only one who did that wink
Katrina Paglierani
I used to attend 1-3 in person events a month on average and I eventually discovered that booths dont work for someone in alliances as well as Partnership Summits and Collaboration zone type set ups. Since we have gone virtual, I have managed to establish some wonderful and benficial relationships with about a dozen peers and we are all supporting each other. i dont think you can take a convention and just move it to "virual booths" that does not seem to work.
Sunir Shah
Agreed. Virtual booths are really for the conference organizers to pay the bills. It doesn’t make any sense because there is no ‘foot traffic’. It reminds me of the 1990s when we talked about the “information superhighway” and people took it literally.
Sunir Shah
Virtual events are performances, so vendors need to be leading conversations not having booths.
Peter Radizeski
the problem is that for conference providers, they only have their static biz model of selling booths and pay-for-play speaking slots. That makes for awful virtual events. They have to re-think EVERYTHING - and either they have not had time enough or are lazy or hope this all goes back to pre-covid soon (which it won't).
Peter Radizeski
so many conferences in my space have suitcasing policies. What does that tell you about the actual conf?

Greg A. Lato
So, today during AWS re:Invent Partnership keynote, AWS announced the new ISV Partner Path. Underneath that announcement, I heard that moving forward “solutions will get badged for tier status, not the vendor.”

1. Has anyone seen any details about this? 2. How does this impact your relationship with AWS as an ISV Partner?
Jason Breed
Hey Greg - I saw that too and immediately contacted my PDM - who is pretty responsive to me. No response yet (which tells me they don’t have details yet) and I’ll be happy to share when I get more info now. For context, we are APN Advanced partners, “Accelerate” program and have 2 products on AWS Marketplace.
Jason Breed
@Greg A. Lato so internally still not a lot of info around the announcement. What they do know is that the program is really designed around smaller companies / startups that were having trouble meeting the requirements of tier level partnerships. They believe this will not affect the stronger / tiered partners
Greg A. Lato
@Jason Breed I haven’t found a lot of details about this yet from ISV managers I know or others engaging with AWS from my network. For smaller companies it seems like it’s geared to help them; but it could also cause problems for larger companies with multiple product offerings. I was wondering if for the select ISV Accelerate partners it would impact individual products.
Jason Breed
what I am hearing is that - No - for ISV Accelerate / marketplace partners, this will have little to no impact. but you are correct, not a lot of intel out yet- even for the AWS employees
Sunir Shah
I’ve cracked the code of the marketing agency channel at AppBind (https://www.appbind.com). It all comes down to whether or not they can sell managed services around technology.

They just don’t do it because they are terrified of getting stuck with the customers’ subscriptions, which is a lot of risk.

Our friends at ActiveCampaign are graciously hosting me on Tuesday next week at 11:30am ET. I guarantee you’ll learn something useful about this channel.

If you are working AWS projects, here is a great webinar for this Thursday and a salary guide: we’re hosting a webinar event for the partner ecosystem where we’ll feature the key findings and discuss what those findings mean in terms of making your next great hire, an analysis on how to attract professionals from End Users, to help get the edge when competing for AWS talent. As digital transformation finds itself front and center of most organizations’ to-do list in 2021, getting it right and getting ahead when it comes to hiring has never been more important. 

The presentation will be hosted by Cliff Myatt (Vice President) and Shane Masterson (Vice President) from Jefferson Frank and Erika Aschmann (Client Account Executive) from Revolent. It should last around 30 minutes, with an opportunity to ask any questions afterward. Here’s the link to sign up and I’d suggest registering as soon as you can as places are filling up and we do have a maximum capacity. Register Here! It will be incredibly insightful!

Anyone going to IRCE/RetailX in August in Chicago?
Cristina Flaschen
We will likely have at least one person there! Will Trustpilot have a booth or just work the floor?
Jake Wallace
Still under consideration at this moment. At the very least, we'll be in attendance if we do go. Is there anyway we can see who will be exhibiting? Does anyone have a list they received?

calendar NEXT THURSDAY 9am-1pm PT (virtual). EMPOWERB2B. Power up rocket your 2021H2 by improving your product-led growth

I’m a frequent attendee at the EmpowerB2B conference in San Francisco, an amazing conference intersecting product and marketing for B2B SaaS leaders. This year, they asked me to speak on your behalf to the product managers in the room.

I’m talking about How Product stresses out Partnerships which hurts Growth. exploding_head

If your best laid plans ever got rejected by a VP Product, this one is for you. I convinced EmpowerB2B to give away rainbow 10 free tickets to Cloud Software Association members. I’ll need the moral support and you’ll have free access to level up your product-led growth skills.

There’s one advantage of the pandemic; amazing conferences are online and accessible to anyone in the world.

Andrew Porter
Anybody at HIMSS next week in Las Vegas? Let me know; happy to meet up for a coffee or drink with fellow partnership & alliance professionals.
Benoit Reinards
Hi @Andrew Porter I will not be at HIMSS, but would love to connect.
Andrea Spellman
I'm curious - how are folks feeling about in person events in general, given the rise in the Delta variant?
Ben Bassett
I had been excited to get back to in-person events. Now, I'm backing way off that. I don't see how Delta, Eta, Iota, and Lambda won't force us back to severe isolation and distancing.
Jake Wallace
I’m watching closely… my feelings have shifted a bit over the last few weeks.
Andrea Spellman
Yes, I was considering going to a trade show in Vegas at the end of the month and am now no longer.
Ben Bassett
I'm kind of in the same boat. There's a huge conf I should attend in mid-Oct. I'm wondering if it gets cancelled altogether at this point.
Cristina Flaschen
We had plans to travel end of Aug. and have put them on hold. I’ve had a few folks reach out asking for meetings during SaaStr, which is at the end of Sept, and I feel like it’s highly unlikely that it actually takes place IRL (but crossed_fingers!)
Sunir Shah
I am getting very salty about losing another year of my life and career because of unvaccinated people.
Dan O’Leary
We decided to move Boxworks to only digital again this year in October - https://www.boxworksevents.com/
Len Martin
My company is set to sponsor in person events in LA in mid-October (KubeCon) and AWS' re:Invent in Vegas in late November. We are standing by waiting to see if KubeCon goes virtual.
Christopher Smith
Hearing a fair amount of chatter on vaccine passports for this use case. Curious if folks feel that’s a viable solution
Ben Bassett
I'm game for Vax passports! I have no issue with them. I'm still concerned about the number of variants, some of which have shown to breakthrough the vax.
Sunir Shah
It’s likely that proof of vaccinations and/or frequently getting a recent negative test are going to be normal part of the next 12-24 months.
Miten Mehta
Folks, It’s a pleasure to invite you to AMA (Ask Me Anything) we are hosting with Amit Zavery, VP and Head of Platform, Google Cloud, on Aug 26th at 9 am PST on ‘_Accelerating Digital Transformation with Google Cloud’_ leveraging Google Business Application Platform (Apigee & Appsheet).    Kindly Register using the Registration link: https://lnkd.in/d_52dA7j - and share with your team to register as well. Appreciate if you can also like / comment on the this LinkedIn Post.

Tomorrow, Cristina Flaschen, Allan Adler and I will be discussing how to align product to an ecosystem strategy. We'll be highlighting strategic and tactical changes to make if you want a product organization that enables partnerships to drive the most business value - including how a traditional product roadmap differs from an ecosystem product roadmap, how to align commercial and product objectives, and what is required to make a product interoperable (and why products need to be interoperable to be successful).

Most partnership leaders have been blocked by a lack of product and engineering resources at some point - our webinar will lay out how to overcome that friction and build a product org that is ecosystem-first.

Most SaaS companies don't send their Partner Managers through the role-based training they need to succeed. Instead, they send these teams through a sales bootcamp and expect them to achieve 3x+ direct quotas with little formal training or tools to accelerate partner success. That's why I've partnered with Matt Cameron and the education experts at SaaSy Sales Leadership to solve this problem.

If you have high goals for 2023 and need to ensure your Partner Managers will deliver, check out SaaSy Sales Leadership's highly interactive, cohort-based SaaS Partner Manager training program. Our workshop delivers best practices to help partner and channel managers quickly excel in role, implement battled tested frameworks and templates, learn via situational role playing, and master real-life group exercises and simulations that prepare them to over-achieve.

The most successful software companies establish strong partnerships between their product management and customer success teams across tactical and strategic initiatives. They understand that if the product isn’t adopted by customers, then the product isn’t valuable, and the company won’t meet its objectives.

This is where our upcoming Implementation Stories session comes in. We will have Jennifer Chiang, author of _The Startup’s Guide to Customer Success_ and Head of Customer Success at Seso, discusses what it takes for CS and product teams to work together successfully.

Join us on 29 November ‘22!

But what should your business and partnership, product, and engineering team take into account during that transition? thinking_face

Our host, Cristina Flaschen, has worked in technology for over 15 years, running technical implementation, professional services and sales engineering teams.

We move forward into intersectional workplaces that ensure all are welcome and are empowered to do their best work; into making sure our business practices have a positive impact on the community around us; into a reality where DEIB is a state of being, not just a department at a company or an empty policy statement.

Join the PowerToFly team and top leaders in tech, business, DEIB, wellness, media, policy, and finance as we take stock of what we’ve learned, and share ideas and strategies for moving forward. The summit will conclude with a virtual job fair to connect diverse candidates with high-visibility jobs at leading brands.

Hey team! Who is attending Catalyst? I'd love the opportunity to meet in person and learn more about what's happening in partnerships and the pain points you're experiencing - this will help inform my content strategy for 2024. (It's coming up surprisingly quickly, time needs to slow!)
Sunir Shah
I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it. $2.8k for a ticket is a bit pricey. Also seems to be targeting the BDR-level of partnerships, rather than decision makers. Any insights?
Sunir Shah
I’d say Greg Portnoy’s post pretty much nails the summary of what content the PL group is focused on right now, and the level of expertise to target (foundation to intermediate).

Kelly Sarabyn (HubSpot)
I'm going (from HubSpot) and I would be happy to meet with you @Ali Spiric as part of my role is TO partner marketing so we should definitely collaborate on some content/webinars.

I am super biased @Sunir Shah bc I was part of the creation but I know the reports I have worked on with PL are very high quality and have executives from top companies as contributors and readers.

Which is to say I do think PL is generally targeting higher level decision makers and I am sure Catalyst will have content and attendees at the expert level. Though I believe they will also have content for more inexperienced attendees since they have a lot of talks/workshops so people can segment to what level they are at/interested in.
Tom Williams
@Ali Spiric Many other events focus on partners, partner programs and partner recruitment/development, often tied to a specific technology ecosystem. I registered for Catalyst because I'm interested in technologies that empower Partner programs and hearing and meeting people building high-performing teams.

Other events like a Partner Advisory Council (PAC) can provide peer networking and highly relevant insight into how others approach the partner job function. The problem is that PACs are few and far between. Based on the speakers and agenda, Catalyst will provide those benefits for SMB, MM and Enterprise programs. From a career development perspective, knowing the systems that support partner programs and hearing about the successes (and failures) of others building highly successful teams is of tremendous value to me and the companies I work in/with.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Hello - I'm new here and I'd love to make new connections. Anyone is going to be at IBC in Amsterdam? Perhaps we could connect there?

For background: I'm a developer turned CTO, turned CEO type of person, heading a start-up in the hybrid cloud systems integration. My company, Scramjet, is offering a solution that allows running long-lived streaming lambda's for internal API integrations in a kind of a virtual region spanning from on-prem & edge to the clouds. We've identified an interesting set of solutions in distributed video encoding and dealing with long-tail storage issues that I want to identify better at IBC.
