Candefero - Canalys' online channels community
Authorised channel partners can join Canalys’ online channels community and forum, Candefero, which gives the opportunity to provide feedback directly to global channel leaders through sentiment trackers, polls and opinion surveys. The feedback and knowledge sharing from the channel partners is fed into the research provided in Canalys’ services and consulting.
Our unique relationship with several thousand partners forms the basis of Canalys’ acclaimed annual CCF events. The Canalys Channels Forum events bring together major technology vendors, distributors and resellers to discuss industry trends, forge new business relationships and create sales opportunities. The events are held across EMEA, APAC and LATAM.
The Canalys Event App is a white-label solution, specifically developed for tech vendors and their channel partners to use at their own, highly influential partner events. We pride ourselves to have developed the Canalys Event App from the expertise in event app development that we have built in-house over the past decade.
