On Tuesday September 13, hundreds of channel partners from across the ICT community converged on the Business Design Centre, Islington for Tech Live 2022, organised by Kingswood Tech Events in association with Mobile News XPO.
From the start, the aisles were buzzing with resellers and MSPs looking for ways to boost revenue and create ‘stickier’ customer relationships.
With 40+ exhibitors from the worlds of IT, comms, networking, cybersecurity, managed print and circular IT, plus related services like billing and leasing, there was a lot to excite ambitious technology service providers – and plenty of opportunities for visitors and exhibitors to forge new relationships and develop existing ones.
The broad range of solutions on display provided fertile ground for visitors from all sectors to extend their offerings into complementary areas, while strong showings from the circular IT and finance and leasing sectors highlighted alternative routes to business growth in economically challenging times.
Over the coming months, PrintIT Reseller and Technology Reseller will be profiling many exhibitors from Tech Live 2022 and some of those you can look forward to seeing at Tech Live 2023.
In the meantime, Kingswood Tech Events, together with
Tech Live media partners Technology Reseller, PrintIT Reseller and Mobile News, would like to thank everyone who visited and exhibited at Tech Live 2022 for making it such a success, with special thanks to our sponsors for their vital support.
They are Siemens Financial Services (Registration Sponsor), Digital Space Wholesale (Seminar Sponsor),
DrayTek (After Show Drinks Sponsor), Henley Executive (Recruitment Partner) and TelcoSwitch (Show bag and Lanyard sponsor).
We look forward to seeing you again at next year’s event on September 12, 2023.
