The Value of the EMEA Member and Partner Conference: Make Your Case and Bring Your Team

If you work in the IT channel in Europe, you won’t want to miss the CompTIA EMEA Member and Partner Conference this year. The ultimate arena for IT channel businesses in Europe, the EMEA Member and Partner Conference connects you with your peers and industry experts where new opportunities await as we forge the future of the tech industry together.

The EMEA Member and Partner Conference, taking place October 21-22 in London, is the perfect opportunity to bring your team together to learn new growth strategies and best practices for driving productivity and sales—especially as your plan for 2025.

Of course, if you’re a CompTIA Community member, registration for you and every single person in your company is included in your membership dues. Why wouldn’t you take advantage of this benefit? Sync in to the power of the CompTIA Community and hold your own offsite meeting with us at the EMEA Member and Partner Conference!

The Benefits of Holding an Offsite Team Meeting

Why consider an offsite meeting? Here are six benefits of gathering your team at an event like the EMEA Member and Partner Conference:

• Build stronger relationships. Gathering together, in person, 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 the EMEA Member and Partner Conference, you expose yourself (and your team) to new learning opportunities.

The Perks of Holding Your Team Meeting at the EMEA Member and Partner Conference

At the EMEA Member and Partner Conference, you’ll engage with a community committed to solving business challenges and overcoming the critical issues facing the industry through peer-to-peer learning, ample networking time and events, and sessions for professionals at every state of their careers. And when you bring your team, you’re amplifying that experience because you can:

• Divide and conquer. Take a look at the agenda, assign your staff to cover different sessions and report back to the team.
• Set up meetings with partners. Dedicate time to walk the exhibition hall and set up meetings with existing partners and potential new partners.

• Engage your staff with the CompTIA Community. 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 our event by encouraging staff to post on social media.
• Leverage in-person time. Take advantage of the many spaces we provide as an intentional space for informal meetings.
• Take advantage of the fun. The EMEA Member and Partner Conference features networking lunches, receptions and special events—you don’t have to plan anything!
• Energize your team. The EMEA Member and Partner Conference is an inspiring and motivating event for anyone who attends. Sync in to those good vibes and take that energy back to the office.
