CVx includes three-days of exhibit hours inside Talking Stick Resort & Casino’s 30,000-sq-ft Grand Ballroom convention space. Attendees who walk the Expo aisles will discover more than 100 brands with channel and wholesale programs exhibiting the latest and greatest in communications services and platforms, wired and wireless networking, XaaS offerings, business IT and cybersecurity solutions, among others.

Education & Enablement
No slide decks of product “differentiators.” No elevator pitches nor ten-thousand-foot views of the next must-haves. Rather, CVx panels and sessions are designed to help partners and vendors enable greater sales and arrive more quickly at intended business outcomes. This is done through two days of concurrent sales and business training tracks; panels of experts discussing real-world challenges, battle scars, wins and whale hunts; and a highly curated schedule of session topics and panels led by a hand-picked cast of moderators.
Short on marketing pop and over-produced stage presentations, CVx educational panels will dive into the “details of the deal,” from identifying the buyer and why they buy to mapping functionality with business outcomes, while our subject matter experts will provide free partner training around key elements such as sales, cybersecurity and finance.
CVx panel sessions are intended to facilitate free and open spaces that foster interactive and spontaneous discussions on the topic being discussed. Attendees will be encouraged to interact with our panelists, swap war stories, share barriers faced and efforts that have broken through. We then hope those conversations carryover to the many networking and social events also taking place at the CVx Expo.

- Cybersecurity Track
- Financial Opportunities Track
