Vendors continue to highlight the importance of partners to adopt AI to not only get better deals but also understand customer pain points better. However, can partners really benefit from using AI in the channel? This research is based on conversations with partners and vendors in the channel to see how much AI they are using in the business as well as the challenges and opportunities partners are facing.
This partner-focused presentation positions Concentric AI as the industry’s most advanced AI-driven Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and GenAI governance platform, built to simplify data security while driving meaningful partner revenue.
XChange attendees are assigned into peer groups of 8-10 based on business focus and technology interests. Vendors meet with the boardroom groups for 25 minutes, presenting new products, programs, and opportunities – in an environment conducive to spirited conversation and constructive feedback.

Many IT professionals think their tools are “good enough” until their techs tell a different story. Frustration with tools leads to slower response times, higher risk, and stalled growth. This session explores why IT teams are rethinking their operations – starting with the fragmented, legacy tools in their employ – and what technicians actually need to manage today’s endpoint sprawl at scale. Expect unfiltered insights, real-world lessons, and a fresh look at what modern IT needs to mitigate risk, improve efficiency, and drive better business outcomes by modernizing endpoint management and unifying IT operations at scale.

Adversity is unavoidable, but how leaders respond to it often determines long‑term success. In this keynote, William shares his journey of navigating severe constraints, prolonged rejection and setbacks that unfolded over decades, not months. Rather than focusing on motivation alone, this session explores how adversity can sharpen decision‑making, build discipline and force clarity around what truly matters.
Drawing on real experiences of working with limited resources, facing repeated rejection, and sustaining momentum when progress feels painfully slow, William offers practical lessons on perseverance, self‑belief and long‑term execution. Attendees will leave with grounded insights on how to reframe obstacles, stay focused under pressure, and turn difficult circumstances into an advantage in both leadership and life.

Cross-border growth is a relationship game and the best leaders treat it like a system, not “networking.” In this peer-led fireside chat, senior channel leaders unpack how they build influence across partners, vendors and customers to scale internationally, and how that translates directly into pipeline, co-selling and new-market expansion.
You’ll hear contrasting playbooks (ecosystem-led vs enterprise-led) and the real decisions behind them: which partnerships are worth doubling down on, what to walk away from, and how your approach needs to change as your organisation grows across APAC and beyond.
As AI adoption accelerates across Asia, channel leaders are moving beyond pilots to focus on where AI is genuinely delivering commercial value. In this peer‑led panel, senior partners share an honest view of how AI is being applied across the region today, highlighting what’s working, what isn’t, and why outcomes vary by market. The discussion explores how AI is reshaping partner roles, influencing vendor‑direct strategies, and redefining where SIs and MSPs can create differentiated value. Attendees will leave with clear guidance on what to prioritise, what to stop investing in, and how to stay relevant as AI adoption matures over the next 12–18 months.
