Partner Marketing and the New AI Ecosystem
Join partner marketing, alliances, and ecosystem leaders for an evening of discussion and networking on how co-marketing and co-selling actually work now that AI is reshaping both the product and the buyer.
Every vendor in the ecosystem now has an AI story. That has made partner differentiation harder, not easier. Buyers are arriving through marketplaces and through the partners doing the implementation, not through the campaigns the funding models were built around. Meanwhile MDF, co-op budgets, and partner-sourced pipeline are getting the same scrutiny as every other line, and the reporting most teams inherited was designed for a motion that no longer describes how deals get done.
This is a room for leaders rebuilding the partner motion under those conditions. Compare how peers pick which partners to invest in when everyone claims the same capability, what co-selling with a hyperscaler actually requires, how marketplace listings change the buying path, where partner-influenced revenue gets credit, and which parts of the partner program AI genuinely makes faster.
No pitches. No sales presentations. Just strong peers, real numbers, and useful conversations.
