What’s the one factor that connects business dreams to business achievements? GROWTH. Through growth, you hone your company’s capabilities, vision and network until one day, you’ve accomplished everything you’ve wanted — and more.

Marketopia’s GROWCON Conference is all about growth, providing attendees with the right tools, skills and partnership-making opportunities to excel in the IT industry. However, what truly sets GROWCON apart from other conferences in the industry is this: vendors have the same exact access to the conference’s offerings as all other attendees.

That’s right — as a vendor, the benefits of sponsoring go far beyond getting your company’s name out there. You can even up your sales game.

Let’s explore the top five growth opportunities for vendors at this technology event.

First Things First: What is GROWCON?

GROWCON 2022, taking place in sunny Clearwater, Florida, is a three-day GROWTH conference where MSPs, vendors, VARs, CSPs and other technology companies come and grow together. They do this through training sessions, workshops and panels.

At the same time, GROWCON also allows for technology vendor growth, as vendors who sponsor the event can connect with tech companies throughout its duration. Vendors can attend all events, whether it’s a training workshop on generating leads or an evening cocktail connect.

Are you excited to GROW yet? Here are some other benefits to getting on board this technology vendor event.

1. Enjoy Plenty of Perks

Let’s get to the perks. As a sponsor of the tech event, you get:

• Attendee passes
• Event expo signage
• Speaking opportunities
• Social media promos
• …and more

As you can see, GROWCON is not just about putting up a couple of banners and dishing out merch. Vendors are immersed throughout the entirety of the program at every level. It’s something rarely found at other, similar conferences but at the forefront here.

2. Put Your Products in Front of MSPs

85% of attendees at GROWCON are interested in developing new vendor partnerships. After all, MSPs, VARs and CSPs are excited about growth opportunities in all facets of their business — and that includes the implementation of new products and services.

As a sponsor, you have the opportunity to sell to and through the fastest-growing tech companies in the world. Through networking, you can get to learn about these companies, including their current pain points, and see if you can provide them with solutions to help them better operate their businesses.

3. Grow Your Channel Educationally

The GROWCON workshops, panels and training are filled with information and advice on how to improve sales and marketing. This info is not just MSP-focused. The knowledge imparted to attendees can aid any type of company grow in these departments.

As a result, you can grow your channel educationally and at the same level as other tech companies throughout the nation. You’ll also get a better understanding of the latest industry trends and ideas.

4. Increase Your Brand Awareness

Of course, a big benefit to sponsoring any event is increased brand awareness. GROWCON is the perfect place to do so, whether it’s through the in-person networking you do or through social media shoutouts you receive.

With stronger brand exposure, you gain plenty of advantages. You can engage with more prospects and start to generate qualified leads for your business. You’ll foster a positive association with your brand and cement your place as a go-to, authoritative source in your field.

5. Network, Network, Network

Networking is a huge stepping stone for growth. The other attendees you meet at GROWCON are just as enthusiastic about the IT industry as you, making it easy to foster relationships and even develop partnerships.

It’s also a great chance for some IT give and take. Not only can you learn more about MSPs and their content strategies and goals, but you can share yours as well. The entire experience allows for learning growth across the board.
