Rome is the setting for this year’s IT Channel Vision Europe (ITCVE) – a pan-European B2B event designed specifically for the IT channel – as the tin says.
ITCVE is part of the Vision Events stable, which was recently acquired by US publisher CMP and incorporated into its newly rebranded and ambitiously named channel offering: Everything Channel.
Readers may be familiar with its sister event: Retail Vision Europe, which aims to bring together retail decision-makers and tech vendors. Well this appears to basically be the same, but with system integrators and resellers replacing retailers. Like a tiny CeBIT with only execs allowed.
There are expected to be around 200 delegates, including the European bosses of Microsoft, Intel, Samsung Semiconductor and Comarch. The event will kick off this evening with a keynote by Robert Faletra, the CEO of Everything Channel.
Here’s a list of the vendors that have confirmed their attendance:

Beauty Up Co

Comarch European Premier 5
Corel Corporation
COS Memory AG

So watch this space and spare a thought for the sacrifices we make to bring you the latest tech business news.
