Editor's Note

Day two of Pipeline saw partners enjoy 360-degree views across secluded coves and beaches, adjacent passages and islands as they teed off on Hamilton Island Golf Club - a course marketed as one of the most challenging in the world - in the Aussie Broadband-sponsored golf round.

Meanwhile, other Pipeline attendees roamed Hamilton Island as part of the Coro-sponsored buggy rally challenge. See all the photos here.

This followed a morning hearing the latest trends in tech channel M&A and from CIOs about what they really want from their technology partners.
