Our bags are packed and we’re off to Las Vegas! Global Partner Summit and OEM Futuremaker Summit are just a few short days away and I can’t wait to spend the week making it real with our partners and customers. We’re on a mission to become the industry’s biggest and best partner program, and the fastest way for organizations to bring bold solutions to market. Next week will be a momentous leap forward on both of those journeys.

Our team has been hard at work building extraordinary new capabilities, solutions, incentives and program enhancements – all for you. Stay tuned for our announcements. We’re further delivering on our promise to be Simple. Predictable. Profitable. Implementing the things YOU asked for.

Attendees, remember those surveys you filled out a couple weeks ago? Our content was built on your feedback. Those surveys acted as our guide so we can make sure we’re covering the topics that matter to you most. We have general sessions to bring us all together, and breakout sessions to offer opportunities to hear from other partners and customers in your region or your area of expertise.

Did I mention the speakers we have lined up for Dell Technologies World? Two words: game changing. Michael Dell and the Dell Technologies executive leadership team, Ashton Kutcher and Allison Dew. This is going to be our best event yet. And the entertainment? Wait ‘til you hear who’s performing at the partner reception. As my millennial kids would say, it’s going to be “on fire.”

We’ll talk about how to embrace and monetize emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, IoT; the latest trends impacting OEM customers; and how Dell EMC is enabling you to innovate faster, build bolder and scale smarter. It’s going to be an incredible event.

So, what do you get when you put 4,000 of the world’s best partners, the Dell Technologies Executive Leadership Team and some extraordinary entertainers in one venue? A really good time. Safe travels and I look forward to seeing you next week!
