Last year, I traveled to New Orleans for some seafood gumbo and jazz music in the summer heat. This year in the early fall breeze, I’ll seek hot beverages as I stroll down Newbury Street in "The Walking City." But one thing remains the same: I’ll join a bustling floor of familiar faces at the annual Cloud Partners Conference Event.

OnSIP will exhibit at this coming Cloud Partners in Boston, MA, September 16-18 at the Hynes Convention Center. The theme this year is “scale, impact, action,” all concepts we apply to our business daily.

What Is Cloud Partners?

Cloud Partners is a Channel Partners conference focused on cloud services. “VARs, MSPs, agents and integrators from around the country will be coming to Cloud Partners to learn how cloud solutions can scale their practice, where cloud services can impact their customer’s business and why a strategic approach can help meet the customer demand for action around the cloud” [Cloud Partners].

As a cloud phone system provider with an award-winning VoIP Reseller Program, OnSIP would not miss this conference!

Who Goes to Cloud Partners?

Here are some key statistics about this year’s attendees, according to a 2015 conference attendee infographic:

  • 37% of attendees are newcomers, there for their first time
  • Over 50% of attendees are involved in corporate management
  • 41% are anticipated to be agents/master agents, 15% VAR, 7% MSP
  • 22% of attendees are from cloud service providers (like us)
  • The top states include: NY, NJ, MI, IL, MA, CT, PA, GA, FL, TX, CO, CA

Where Will OnSIP Be at Cloud Partners?

Throughout the expo hours, you can find OnSIP at Booth #517.

I’ll be there— Nicole Hayward, SVP of Marketing and Product Management— and I’ll be joined by OnSIP Director of the Channel Andy Ogg and OnSIP Channel Manager Shawn Paprocki. We also expect cofounders John Riordan and Rob Wolpov to stop into the booth, so we hope OnSIP agents attending will get a chance to swing by and meet them!

The OnSIP team plans to attend a few key events, which I’d like to recommend to all attendees:

I will get a head start on the conference at the Women in the Channel (WiC) Networking Event from 5 - 8 pm on Tuesday, September 15th. I am looking forward to this event, and not just because I know many of the power players there as a board member of the organization.

I’m excited for a keynote at the WiC event by Verizon VP Janet Schijns: “CTRL+ALT+Compete: Take Control of Your Career.” A top channel leader, Schijns promises some concrete tips on taking your career to the next level. This event is open to all women who attend Cloud Partners, and I highly recommend it to jumpstart your show!

We will also, of course, plan to attend the keynote, “Cloud Means Business,” from 9:15 am to 10:05 am on Wednesday, September 16th. We are looking forward to the panel of analysts discussing how “how to translate [the conference’s] theme of ‘scale, impact, action’ to your business.”

Finally, OnSIP is hashing out our agenda for the concurrent education tracks held on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. They are packed with strategies on selling the latest cloud services, building your business with cloud services, and deciding which cloud services to sell. So much to do, so little time! You can find the conference agenda here, and we hope to see you there!
