Forecast 2010: What's Hot and What's not for Alliances

The new year provides us with the opportunity to assess previous accomplishments and disappointments -- and to make plans for future growth and cultivate new prospects. In the world of collaborative business relationships, let's start the year with a review of lessons from 2009 and make some projections on what 2010 will bring.

Be sure to attend and you'll be the first "in the know!"

At this event, we'll ask:
* What were the trends that affected the partnering landscape in 2009? How have they impacted strategies for 2010?
* What are the challenges and opportunities for channel, alliance, and technology solutions in 2010?
* How will the Big 4 (Cisco, IBM, Oracle and HP) impact partner ecosystems?
* Are new partner models emerging?
* What are the new technology alliance trends for startups and mid-sized companies?
