Arriving just in time for the new Channel Forum at Tech Trade Live next week is a wealth of fascinating content. Industry experts have been assembled together to assist in informing and educating the Channel on the incredibly challenging nuances of delivering on the cloud.

Billy Huggard, publisher at event organiser Mediateam, will ring the starting bell and moderate the discussion. The format and content is designed to bring about a good debate on the direction the channel needs to take next.
First and foremost is the key role the channel will play as vendors and end users alike face the challenge of hybrid, security, IoT and many other issues.
Secondly, we look at the Vendors role in the new eco system, how have MSP’s reengineered their business and what do the end users demand of the channel and the vendor in this new era.
The agenda has been designed to bring about a healthy discussion on the opportunities and threats the channel now faces. TechTrade contributing editor Billy MacInnes will highlight the move to hybrid and ask if edge computing leading to decentralisation, IoT and more.
