PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
An exciting new conference and expo has been announced for the UK PC and IT channel. The PCR Retail Boot Camp is scheduled for Wednesday May 2nd 2012 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London.
Free for retailers to attend, some 250 dealers are expected at the PCR Retail Boot Camp, with the list of key accounts being identified in conjunction with Event Partners.
Organised by Intent Media, publisher of PCR, it will provide a day of conference sessions, expo showcases and networking – all designed to help dealers improve their business.
Retailers and resellers will attend the PCR Retail Boot Camp by invitation only, ensuring that only the top 250 VIP PC and IT dealers will participate in the event.
In addition to the conference and expo, there will be a series of ‘Break-Out Sessions’ during the afternoon, giving suppliers and manufacturers the opportunity to present technical or service sessions with smaller groups of dealers.
Meanwhile, an after-show party, sponsored by VIP, will provide networking opportunities to round off the day’s events.
Dealers can register their interest in attending the event by emailing pcrbootcamp@intentmedia.co.uk.
Leading distributors VIP and Micro-P, plus security software specialist G Data, have already pledged their support of next year’s PCR Retail Boot Camp event, signing up as Platinum Partners.
“VIP is very pleased to be a sponsoring partner for the PCR Retail Boot Camp,” said VIP’s marketing manager, Jason D’Cruz. “The industry is looking for a new and innovative way to bring together suppliers and resellers, and VIP is pleased to play its part in making this happen.”
