7 Insanely Useful Resources
for Channel Partners Newbies

First time attending the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas?

Great choice. The event is full of opportunities to build your business, learn more about the industry and trends, network, and blow off steam. All that said, this annual industry gathering could feel overwhelming at first. There are so many people and there’s so much going on that you might have trouble identifying where to funnel your energies.

We’ve got some insanely useful resources gleaned from more than 10 years of attending and sponsoring Channel Partners, and we’re sharing some key pieces of advice here.

There’s an app for that.

The Channel Partners Conference & Expo organizers developed a mobile app that lets you build your agenda, connect with fellow attendees, and schedule meetings with vendors. Using this app alongside your calendar will keep you on track and on time. We have recommendations on how you can strategically fill up your schedule at Channel Partners.

Skip the fancy shoes.

The Venetian Convention Center is huge. You’ll be racking up those steps at Channel Partners (your pedometer will love you!). Ladies and men alike, save yourself the blisters and discomfort of fancy shoes — opt for the Chuck Taylors or Vans, or anything else that won’t leave you limping and grimacing at the end of each night.

If you must dress those feet to impress, we recommend saving them for evening parties and outings. There are often more options for sitting and relaxing.

Come to ACS Booth to learn about our proprietary sales and quoting tools.

Get educated.

Channel Partners is largely about networking, of course. After all, we’re all here to build our businesses. But networking alone may not give you all the insight you need.

Check out the many education sessions built just for you. If you click the “Recommended for Telco Partners” button on the conference agenda page, you’ll find panels and keynotes galore targeting agents.

Hungry?

If you’re headed up to Bouchon for a quiet, elegant meal, avoid the elevators on the casino floor by going to the one just to the right of the check-in desk or by taking the farthest elevator in The Venetian self-parking garage. Each of these will transport you to the 10th-floor eatery without stress or delay.

Speaking of food

Happy hour specials are hard to find on the Strip. But Brera Osteria in The Venetian’s St. Mark’s Square has your back. Catch up with ACS, colleagues and prospects over beef tartare, bruschetta, pizza, shrimp, and more, from 3-5 p.m. without breaking the bank.

Get a gaming education.

If you’re new to gaming or haven’t played in a while, The Venetian offers complimentary craps lessons weekdays at 11 a.m. Go to the Craps Pit across from the major cage on The Venetian casino floor to join. Blackjack and Roulette lessons are on hold for now.

Have a blast.

If you like escape rooms and cocktails, but don’t have time to leave the Strip, check out PanIQ in The Venetian. You get 45 minutes to solve a puzzle while enjoying drinks before or after the fun.

There you have it: seven insanely useful resources for making the most of your first Channel Partners Conference & Expo.
