Reseller Middle East has successfully concluded the second edition of its channel networking event – Reseller MEet.
The event which was held on 27th April at The Oberoi Hotel in Dubai, hosted around 100 pre-determined one-to-one meetings between vendors, resellers and distributors. Bringing together industry players from three key Middle East markets namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, the event provided participants with an opportunity to build rapport and find new ways to grow their business.
Kimberly Di Paolo, Vice President, Global Parner Channel, Blackline, said, “This is our first event and actually our very first conversations in building out a Middle East channel. The event went really well for us. And at times, all three of us from Blackline were having simultaneous meetings. It was quite busy and well-organised in terms of the event-flow and the agenda. It certainly was a successful event for us and we will definitely participate again. Our expectations were more than met.”
Building the right channel with the right partners is the key to cash in on enterprise users’ growing appetite for ICT solutions. Reseller Middle East believes that constant communication and coordination are additional keys to winning more contracts and building long-term relationships.
Moosa Koya, CEO, Eram Infotech, KSA, said, “The Saudi market has always been to an extent as compared to other GCC nations. Because of this, operating in the Kingdom can be challenging at times. However, the key to succeeding in this market is attaining as much business intelligence as you can and ensuring that you continuously enhance your offerings. Having said that, we participated at Reseller MEet due to our interest to know more about the new trends and offerings present in the channel landscape of the UAE.”
“Although we’ve already had previous conversations with some of the companies that we’re meeting here today we still feel like this kind of platform is a good chance to build on that rapport again,” said Julia Stolyarova, Director, Vinci Solutions. “Also, with representatives coming from different companies based in the UAE, KSA and Bahrain this event has been a great avenue to fresh perspectives.
