Channel Strong in Maryland: Everybody needs a pick-me-up
Our Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour rolled up to Dynamic Network Solutions – our fantastic hosts in Maryland – earlier today for a great lunchtime tailgate, complete with a catered menu of both breakfast and lunch items, drinks, and games. The Dynamic Network Solutions team was super busy inside at their help desk and network operations center (NOC), but they managed to come join us for a while, enjoy a bite, and whet their whistle quickly before getting back to work supporting their clients. Clearly business is good here in Maryland!

Channel Strong in Charlotte: Ready for remote work
Charlotte showed up strong today and came out for a little food and fun in the sun as our Channel Strong: Positive Vibe Tour rolled into town. I’ll admit that the sun was a welcome change after our fantastic-but-rainy visits to Atlanta and Orlando. Our gracious host in Charlotte was Joseph Atkins, the founder of SeedSpark. SeedSpark is MSP here and a recent Inc. 500 award recipient. The company’s 45-person team came out to join us for our event.

Channel Strong in Atlanta: Weathering the storm
The second stop of this week’s leg of the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour brought us into Atlanta, GA. The only downside is rainstorms rolled into town with us, which caused a bit of a wet experience. Even though it rained the whole time, we had a good turn out and a lot of fun. As they say in the theater, “the show must go on!”

Channel Strong in Orlando: Seeing familiar faces in The City Beautiful
We’re back on the road for our last week of the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour and we started Week Three of our 7,000-mile journey in sunny Orlando, FL. We popped up our tailgate event on Monday and, after this whirlwind tour, we’ve got the whole set-up and tear-down routine down to a science. It used to take us a good hour to set up, but now we can get everything ready in 15 minutes and tear down in 10. Talk about operational efficiency!

Channel Strong Week 2 Recap: Connecting with Texas MSPs
Well Texas, it’s been a great week! You’ve been hit hard by the pandemic, but your goodwill is evident as you help your neighbors, help your friends, and help your small business clients.  As the Channel Strong Positive Vibes Tour wrapped up its second week, the sense of community and excitement we saw was nothing short of amazing. Before the bus gets too far away from a wi-fi signal, I wanted to share some of the best conversations I had during our stops in the great cities of Houston, San Antonio, and Ft. Forth.

Channel Strong in Houston: The tools were ready, we just needed to activate them
We’ve kicked off the second week of the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour, and as we restart the roadshow in Houston, it’s striking how resilient the MSP Channel really is. As I reflect on our conversations in each city, I am constantly reminded how positive, helpful, tough, and creative our channel friends really are.

Channel Strong Tour rolls into Temecula
To wrap up week one of the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour, we had a fantastic time in Temecula with our hosts, Mythos Technology. After our stop in Tempe, with it 117-degree heat, somehow Temecula didn’t feel so hot.

Channel Strong in Denver: The Positive Vibes Tour rolls on
Iconic might just be the word for the stop on our Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour made in Denver today. Not just because we had super-awesome hosts, but because we had such a great event. In the spirit of community support, we were able to collect a lot more food for the food bank, but unlike yesterday’s stop in Kansas City, today’s donations included pet food. That’s something I never even would have thought about. Our tour partners PAX8 brought in a few carloads of food too! In addition to the food collection, today’s stop enabled us to give a boost to two downtown small businesses who’ve been hit hard by the lockdown.

Channel Strong in Chicago: Talking MSP vs MssP
Day one of the Channel Strong: Positive Vibe Tour is in the bag! We met with awesome partners and enjoyed the tremendous hosting of Lori Tisinai outside on the docks at the Chicago Yacht Club. We ate, we drank, and we had great conversations while socially distancing and enjoying how fantastic it felt to be out – and together! We talked a little nerd, met new MSPs, and learned new things about how real MSPs are currently running their businesses.

Setting Sail on the Channel Strong: Positive Vibes Tour
While many presenters have tried, no one's quite cracked the code yet ... and virtual events simply are just not the same as the in-person conversations that are so vital for those of us who work in the IT Channel. If you've craved some face-to-face interaction and want to connect with your favorite channel colleagues, I've got a surprise for you. Acronis, BVoIP, Pax8, Liongard, ConnectBooster, Compliancy Group, and SocSoter are working together and we’ll be holding outdoor channel meetups in several cities over the next three weeks. Today kicks off the first day in the soon-to-be-famous Channel Strong: The Positive Vibes Tour!

CompTIA’s ChannelCON nailed it!
Connection. If there’s one word that best sums up what CompTIA is all about, it’s “connection”. It connects the global IT community as we all learn, grow, and navigate this amazing channel. One of the best parts of CompTIA is that no matter what the goal is – from new and innovative certifications or trust marks to political lobby missions to conferences aimed at bringing vendors and partners together – CompTIA is all about building relationships. And I’ve personally seen many of those relationships turn into true friendships.
