GTDC Summit EMEA Deepens IT Industry Partnerships

NOORDWIJK, THE NETHERLANDS--(Marketwired - Jun 15, 2016) - In a move that signals a dynamic new dimension for the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) and its popular Summit events in EMEA and the United States, the organization now takes relationship-building and third-party insight to unparalleled perspectives. The deeper value stems from a broader range of executive participants with top-tier partners and distribution leaders as well as the most esteemed independent authorities on technology channels and the database experts who track them. GTDC members generate more than $130 billion in annual revenue, and channel executive participants at Summit EMEA, June 14-15, represented more than 40 IT companies. 

To close out the first day of Summit EMEA, the GTDC honored the region's fastest-growing IT vendors at its Rising Star Awards dinner last night. The winners span a full cross-section of today's most innovative technologies, from the cloud and mobile computing to data center, networking, security, Big Data and other advancing market segments.
