CONNEXTION 2021

ConneXtion 2021 | Connecting the Right Partners with the Right Solutions

For 2021, Ingram Micro is taking a more targeted approach with solution selling.  Focused on five core areas, each category will have a dedicated month, in which vendors have the opportunity to partner with us, to engage and enable our sales organization and a targeted group of category resellers within the VAR, ISV, Major Accounts, DMRs, CSP & Retail divisions.  The target list will be combined of currently purchasing customers, and those that have the propensity/interest to purchase within the specific category.  Throughout each focus month, a strategic go-to-market campaign will be initiated highlighting your solutions, and this will all lead up to a half day virtual event, where you will have the opportunity to virtually network with the resellers through a speed dating format.
