The Perks of Bringing Your Team to ChannelCon
At ChannelCon, you’ll learn best practices for growing your technology business, gain access to the resources and knowledge needed to unlock your potential in key growth areas and connect to peer-to-peer knowledge sharing with people, like you, who are working in this business every day.
When you bring your team, you’re amplifying that experience because you can:
- Divide and conquer. Take a look at the ChannelCon agenda, assign your staff to cover different biz tech and cybersecurity sessions and report back to the team.
- Set up meetings with partners. Dedicate time to walk the Technology Vendor Fair and set up meetings with existing partners and potential new partners.
- Engage your staff with GTIA. Encourage participation in sessions and involvement in groups of interest that align with professional development goals.
- Promote your presence. Show your customers (and competitors) that you are part of the premier technology event by encouraging staff to post on social media.
- Leverage in-person time. ChannelCon provides plenty of intentional space for informal meetings.
- Take advantage of the fun. ChannelCon features multiple networking lunches, receptions and special events—including our legendary party. You don’t have to plan anything!
- Energize your team. ChannelCon is an inspiring and motivating event for anyone who attends. Soak up those good vibes and take that energy back to the office.
Out of the Office, Into Innovation
Fresh surroundings fuel fresh perspectives! Host productive off-site meetings of your own at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. Lush atriums, expansive spaces, world-class golf and gourmet dining await your team. It’s the perfect scenario to host your own offsite team meeting.
Why Hold an Offsite Team Meeting?
Of course, you already hold regular team meetings. Why should you consider an offsite meeting? Here are 6 benefits of gathering your team at an event like ChannelCon:
- Build stronger relationships. Gathering together, in person, at an event like ChannelCon allows memories to be made—and shared experiences bond teams.
- Encourage collaboration. Sometimes the best ideas are born outside of the office. A change of scenery can spark new friendships that, in turn, nurture teamwork.
- Enhance communication. Conversations held in person just feel different. When you can look someone in the eye and read their nonverbal cues, you get more out of the discussion.
- Establish alignment. An offsite meeting is a great opportunity to step back from your typical day-to-day conversations and look at the big picture, together.
- Solve problems. Talking about pain points, finding solutions and making decisions are all easier when you have everyone in the same place at the same time.
- Learn something new. When you hold your meeting at an event like ChannelCon, you expose yourself (and your team) to new learning opportunities.
