The Canalys Forum APAC is already breaking records for partner participation, with hundreds of the region’s most important partners registering three months before the event in Bangkok.

More than 500 senior-level executives from the region’s top resellers, MSPs, systems integrators and distributors will unite at the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel from 5 to 7 December 2023 under the conference theme of “Making Waves”.

Thousands of one-to-one meetings take place each year at the Canalys Forum. Here, delegates and sponsors synchronize their efforts to create the channel business of tomorrow. Beyond networking, delegates will ride the wave of exclusive Canalys revelations on pivotal industry currents – from the vast oceans of cloud marketplaces, ecosystem trends and managed services, to the deep undercurrents of cybersecurity, sustainability and partner programs.
