Stay on top of emerging market trends and learn best practices from 50+ Partner Marketing executives at some of the world’s leading technology companies. These experts share their insights into everything from crafting effective joint go-to-market strategies to driving demand with and through partners to proving Partner Marketing’s impact to the business.

 

About Informa TechTarget: Infoma TechTarget’s dedicated, global Partner Marketing Services team provides white-glove support and turnkey solutions for Strategy, Content, and Demand. We can help you validate your “better together” story, communicate it throughout the IT buyer’s journey, and access and influence our worldwide network of 50M+ B2B professionals to drive thought leadership, leads, and partner pipeline.

While many demand gen marketers are using intent data to drive better campaign outcomes, it’s been more challenging for partner and channel marketers to incorporate intent into their complex go-to-market (GTM) motions. Partner marketers often lack access and visibility into critical data, have limited to no integration with partner systems and tools, and tend to focus on traditional sales metrics rather than customer intent signals.

At Informa TechTarget, everything we do is fueled by intent – and with our strategy, content, and demand capabilities, we have a deep understanding of partner marketers. That’s why we invited Informa TechTarget partner marketing leaders Anita Covelli (VP, Portfolio Marketing and Strategic Partnerships) and Rachael Fuller (Director of Partner & Channel Solution Marketing) to help build a roadmap for getting started with intent data in partner marketing.

During this webinar, Anita and Rachael will discuss:
- Common use cases for intent data in partner and channel marketing
- How to evaluate intent providers for partner marketing
- Practical advice for getting started with a crawl, walk, run approach

The Partner Marketer’s Guide to Intent Data

In the relentless world of B2B marketing, buyers aren't just busy—they're under siege. Every notification, every email, every meeting invite - all vying for their most precious resource: attention. For partner marketing teams, this presents a critical challenge: how do you create and accelerate demand when competing for such limited buyer attention? And how do you set your partners up for success?  

Join partner demand gen experts Kristin Heisner (Commvault) and Jerome Alexander (Cloudera) to examine how innovative B2B organizations are strategically deploying AI to transform partner demand generation.  

In this session, you will learn how to use AI-powered demand generation strategies to: 
- Personalize content at scale 
- Collaborate through agentic partner ecosystems 
- Create more opportunities in niche communities and micro-segments 
- Pivot effectively as technology continues to evolve

Winning the B2B Attention Battle: AI-Enhanced Partner Demand Strategies

With lean teams and increasing pressure to drive revenue growth through their partner ecosystems, Alliances professionals need to center their Partner Marketing and Partner Sales efforts on the accounts that are most likely to convert into registered opportunities.

As B2B tech companies lean further into ecosystem-led growth, many partner marketing and sales leaders find themselves wrestling with complexity: partner plans built in spreadsheets, marketing efforts disconnected from field sellers, MDF investments with unclear return, and internal teams chasing separate goals. 

This webinar explores how leading GTM teams are shifting from fragmented partner motions to a structured, cross-functional planning rhythm that anchors every decision to revenue. Industry leaders Neela Mistry-Bradshaw (Align Marketing & Sales) and Craig Booth (Channel Force Inc.) will share how to align Sales, Marketing, RevOps, and Alliances around joint priorities, activate the right partner sellers, and build a repeatable plan for partner-led growth.

Turning Chaos into Clarity: How B2B Teams Can Plan and Execute Partner Revenue with Precision

The explosive growth of hyperscaler marketplaces as a route to market for software and SaaS companies is reshaping enterprise procurement behavior, vendor go-to-market strategies, and channel models.

Charting a New Course: The Future of Partner-Led Growth

According to Adobe’s 2024 State of Marketing Automation report, 87% of marketing leaders say it’s easy to lose alignment with sales over time due to disconnected GTM processes within and across marketing and sales. Achieving steady cohesion between partner marketing and partner sales teams is even more challenging due to disparate tools and systems, inconsistent processes, evolving market dynamics, different KPIs, and communication breakdowns across different organizations and teams.  

Partner Marketing leaders Tyler Briggs (Box), Shannon Bodnar (Darktrace) and Neela Mistry-Bradshaw (SCC) have all spent a significant amount of time composing formulas for success in creating harmony between partner marketing and partner sales teams. Listen in as Informa TechTarget's Rachael Fuller (Product Marketing Manager, Partner Marketing) asks them to share their experiences with:  

- Setting a continuous communication and collaboration strategy 
- Empowering partner sales and marketing with the right tools and systems 
- Measuring attribution and success metrics across organizations

Align and Conquer: Harmonizing Partner Sales and Partner Marketing

Attribution is top of mind for most Marketing teams. However, when you throw partners into the mix, attribution gets a whole lot more complicated between multiple touchpoints, two or more budgets, and significantly lengthier sales cycles. That's why we recently invited Andrew Kisslo (SVP of Partner Marketing, SAP) to share his best practices during a recent Partner Marketing Visionaries Interactive Roundtable. Watch this on-demand video to see Andrew's key takeaways from this discussion.

Clarifying Attribution in Partner Marketing

A recent GTM Partners study found that 73% of companies with a partner program rely on partners for 25%+ of their revenue. This means that partner marketers are under more pressure than ever to drive demand in support of their company’s revenue goals.  
 
Working with and through partners to efficiently and effectively build pipeline requires a few key ingredients plus orchestrated alignment across internal and partner teams.  
 
Join us as partner marketing leaders Martin Smith (Adobe), Salome Imedashvili (Salesforce), and Neha Bhatt (Capgemini) discuss their own recipes for success and share practical advice to help you:

- Measure success and provide impact

Key Ingredients for Effective Partner Marketing Campaigns

According to a recent Canalys study, by 2025, close to one-third of total marketplace transactions will involve channel partners. Channel partners are more important than ever to business strategies, which means that Partner Marketing teams are under more pressure than ever to ensure their channel partners are aligned, engaged and enabled to support their business’s growth.  

Join us as we sit down to chat about channel program strategies with Joe Gabriel, Sr. Director of Global Partner Marketing at Qlik. Joe will share in-depth, actionable advice on how to effectively stand up a partner program strategy, including:

- Ensuring return-on-investment from MDF funding opportunities

Effective Channel Partner Program Strategies

In a recent GTM Partners survey, 73% of companies with a partner program said that they rely on partners for 25%+ of their revenue. This means that partner marketing teams are under more pressure than ever to drive demand in support of their company’s revenue goals. 

There are several common roadblocks to successful pipeline creation that are keeping many technology partner marketers awake at night, including:

- Constantly shifting targets and mis-aligned priorities
- Limited resources and a lack of support from the broader marketing organization
- Tight quarterly budgets and cumbersome funding processes
- Low conversion rates and a lack of control over partner and sales follow-up
- The complexity of measuring and demonstrating partner marketing ROI
