The three-day conference is partners' opportunity to explore the Australian mergers & acquisition landscape and hear from IT buyers’ perspectives. The content won't stop there, as panels, roundtables and presentations will cover security, cloud, the increasing opportunities in AI, hiring, revenue growth opportunities, customer cost realities, marketing, the future of technology distribution partnerships — and more!
And, of course, networking, networking, networking!
Pipeline delegates will also have a chance to meet CRN Impact Awards finalists, with the awards taking place on the final night of the conference.

The awards celebrate Australian IT and channel projects that have made a difference to end customers, partners or vendors. Explore who the finalists are in 2023 here!
