PANEL — Growing Your Channel Business in 2026: Where Will Profitable Growth Really Come From?

10 Mar 2026
Theatre A
BUSINESS LEADERSHIP & CHANNEL GROWTH

Organic growth has become increasingly difficult as margins compress across cloud, connectivity and UCaaS. Customers now expect solutions that deliver measurable outcomes, not just technology components. This panel examines the real sources of profitable growth in 2026, including lifecycle refresh programmes, AI-enhanced managed services and customer expansion strategies built around analytics and CX.

Leaders will share concrete examples of what has driven growth in the last year: refining service packaging, expanding into verticals, improving renewal motions and introducing advisory-led sales approaches. The panel also highlights common pitfalls — overcomplicated portfolios, weak customer insights and underdeveloped commercial models — and provides guidance for building sustainable, high-margin growth engines.
