Editor's Note

One of the best-placed people in Australia to cut through the noise about channel M&A is Omdia chief analyst Mark Iles - so I'm excited to tell you he'll be a keynote speaker at Pipeline 2026 on May 7 on Hamilton Island.

Mark will bring an independent view of where money is flowing, why and what's next, building on his Australian IT Channel M&A Report.

Whether you're actively pursuing M&A, fielding approaches, curious about your options, or planning to stay independent, his keynote will provide valuable context.
