The Call for Speakers is open for the 2027 Channel Partners Conference and MSP Summit in Las Vegas, and this year we’re presenting you with more speaking opportunities than ever.
In previous years, we sent out a call for speakers exclusively for our live event. For 2027, we are broadening our reach in hopes of receiving more submissions and utilizing them across multiple channels—including our events, newsletters, websites, webinars, and community communications. This expansion gives you a better chance of having your content seen and heard by a wider audience throughout the year.
We are accepting Call for Speaker applications for:
- Channel Partners Conference & Expo 2027 (main stage keynotes, educational conference tracks, workshops, and peer sessions) scheduled for March 15-18, 2027, at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
- MSP Summit (keynotes, conference tracks, workshops, peer sessions) co-located with Channel Partners Conference
- Digital webinars (both Technology Advisor/Trusted Advisor and MSP-focused)
- Channel Partners newsletters (featured content and insights)
- MSP newsletters (featured content and insights)
- Channel partner news sites and digital platforms (articles, interviews, and thought leadership pieces).
Your submissions will be considered for all of these platforms, allowing your content to be featured in multiple formats and reach the $6.16 trillion telecommunications and IT industries in various impactful ways.
Some things haven’t changed. We’re still looking for strictly vendor-neutral and platform-neutral submissions. You can include ideas that include real benefits to partners, peer case studies, customer insights, actionable takeaways, or industry research. Tailor your submission for an audience of channel partners consisting of technology advisors, trusted advisors, agents, MSPs, VARs, MSSPs, IT consultants, and solution providers that sell IT and communications/collaboration/cloud solutions to customers of all sizes and in all sectors.
