Members of the Symplicity Communications team traveled to Austin, Texas for the annual Intelisys Channel Connect event that took place November 2nd through 4th.
“My favorite part of Intelisys Channel Connect is always the people,” said Senior Account Executive Britney Hayden. “It’s a great opportunity to reconnect with our partners, build new relationships, and learn from others in the industry. I always walk away with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and excitement about the opportunities ahead for Symplicity and our customers.”
Intelisys Channel Connect brings technology advisors, suppliers, and industry leaders together to share insights, explore emerging solutions, and strengthen partnerships. Through keynote talks, breakout sessions, supplier meetings, and networking, attendees gain practical ideas and connections they can bring back to better support their customers.
“Channel Connect is always one of my favorite events because of the opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas, and see where our industry is heading,” added Symplicity Communications President and CEO, Catherine Ripley. “This year, the conversations around AI, automation, and the continued convergence of technologies reinforced just how much opportunity lies ahead for our industry. What excites me most is how we take what we’ve learned and turn it into action. At Symplicity, our focus for 2026 has been execution, and we left Channel Connect with new ideas, stronger partnerships, and opportunities to bring even greater value to our customers.”
During the event, Catherine Ripley spoke on a main stage partner spotlight panel “Converged Wins, Exponential Opportunity” discussing one of our large deals with the audience. The Symplicity team also took home the award, “Top Converged Partner” by Intelisys and was awarded its 8th Club TPC award.
