Complete Details

The Canalys EMEA Technology Channels Briefing is an exclusive, data-driven event hosted at the heart of the UK’s "Silicon Valley." As part of the Omdia and Informa Tech family, Canalys brings its world-renowned market intelligence directly to senior leaders in the technology sector. This briefing is specifically designed for executive decision-makers who require deep-dive analytics into the rapidly shifting landscape of AI-capable PCs, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity ecosystems.

Participants will spend the day engaging with Canalys’ lead analysts in an intimate setting that fosters high-level discourse. Unlike larger trade shows, this event focuses on granular data and actionable forecasts for the 2027 fiscal year. The sessions cover the "Agentic Economy," exploring how AI-driven transformation is fundamentally redrawing the lines for system integrators and consultants across Europe.

The day begins with a keynote on global macroeconomic trends and their specific impact on UK and European tech shipments. This is followed by interactive breakout sessions where attendees can challenge the data and gain clarity on vendor strategies. The briefing also serves as a premier networking hub, offering a rare opportunity to connect with peers from top-tier distributors, resellers, and vendors in a private, professional environment. With the integration of Omdia’s vast research library, this year’s briefing offers an even broader scope of insights, ranging from sustainable tech regulations to the future of managed services (MSPs).
