Kickstarter Event

Kickstarter is an exciting event designed to kick off the year ahead.

The event will explore key topics and trends shaping 2025 through a series of insightful panel discussions and debates. Led by the editorial team, the agenda includes three deep-dive sessions on pivotal themes.

Editor-In-Chief William Maher will open the event with an overview, setting the stage for an evening of valuable insights and forward-looking discussions.

Attend our event to see the techpartner.news team, partners plus sponsors discussing the following areas:

 

Navigating the shift
Navigating the Shift: Windows 10 End of Support and AI-Powered PCs
With time running out before this deadline, we ask partners and sponsors for an update about their experiences and best practices transitioning customers. Also, AI PCs have been in market for a while and a plethora of new hardware is hitting the market in 2025. We ask for partners’ experiences selling AI powered PCs.
AI
The Channel and AI: Where to now?
For all the wins IT firms are having with AI, some say many in the IT channel have missed out on the financial benefits of AI. As customers’ use of the technology continues to evolve, is the go-to-market for channel partners and AI any clearer and the payoff looking any better in 2025?
Security
Security and Compliance in 2025
With Australia’s new cybersecurity law, updated privacy penalty regime, the Digital ID Act, proposed AI guardrails, fresh data retention guidelines, and SMB1001, the compliance landscape continues to evolve. Join us to discuss the implications for technology partners.
