EDGE 2025: The A/NZ Channel FutureScape – How transformation will impact the new tech ecosystem

ARN and Reseller News are proud to launch EDGE 2025: The A/NZ Channel FutureScape – How transformation will impact the new tech ecosystem.

As the leading IT ecosystem conference in Australia and New Zealand, EDGE 2025: The A/NZ Channel FutureScape will concentrate on how technology solution partners (TSPs) can adapt their businesses to seize the opportunities presented by emerging and rapidly advancing technologies, with a focus on achieving profitable outcomes.

Partner transformation has never been so critical as AI breakthroughs and cyber security threats dominate the tech landscape.

With an outcome-centric focus, EDGE 2025 will identify how to execute and shape channel businesses to support goals, strategies and implement a profitable action plan. 

Hear from outstanding visionaries on technology trends and thought leaders on the best of breed products to ride that wave. Join practical workshops and hands-on sessions from business, transformation and tech experts, and experience how to implement and incorporate new strategies in your business.

Taking place from 27 to 30 July 2025 at the stunning five-star RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, EDGE 2025 is the only A/NZ channel conference that provides decision-makers with the right forum to learn and network and achieve profitable outcomes. Register your interest to attend here.

This year, we’ve added an additional day to the conference to promote extra, curated, scheduled and organic networking. Dinners, workshops, interactive sessions, recreational activities, new app-based matchmaking, and one-to-one meetings will facilitate stronger connections and collaboration.

EDGE 2025 will embrace evolving technology solutions in the partner ecosystem and how to turn them into viable business action plans. 

There will be content and workshops for the expanded 2025 audience: specific streams for the new breeds of hyperscaler partners and implementors; growth-based master plans for MSPs, SIs, and VARs; leadership opportunities for GSIs and high-end integrators.

ARN and Reseller News has involved an outstanding Brains Trust to advise on best directions for the EDGE 2025 partner experience. This highly credentialed line-up includes: Brad Clarke of Channel Guru; James Davis of The TSP Advisory, Moheb Moses of Channel Dynamics, Ryan Spillane of 360 Consulting, Desmond Russell of PartnerElevate and IDC APAC senior researcher of channel and partner ecosystems Sheena Wee.

Together, they will work with ARN to optimise the keys takeaways and format for EDGE 2025.

Content will be underpinned by EDGE Research, housing in-depth end-user and partner analysis across Australia and New Zealand, uniquely delivered in partnership with Mark Iles and Tech Research Asia.

“As the A/NZ channel keeps pace with global technology trends, partners must transform to help shape the opportunities for customers. Channel ecosystems must stay at the forefront and set the FutureScape for profitability and success, and EDGE 2025 will set the stage for vendors, distributors and partners to collaborate for best business outcomes for their customers,” EDGE Ambassador Susan Searle said.

“EDGE 2025: FutureScape will focus on offering practical guidance on how to capitalise on the latest technology trends, solution monetisation, business growth, customer acquisition, and skills.”

“We’re excited to extend the program in 2025 with an additional day of information, networking and gaining valuable business skills. EDGE 2025 will bring the historic excellence of its ten-year foundation plus more! More workshops, more experiences, more effective guided networking time,” ARN and Reseller News editor Julia Talevski said.

“Industry leaders can expect to explore how to capitalise on the latest industry trends on AI and data analytics; track spending and investment patterns of the A/NZ market today and where to invest in skills as we navigate the future of the channel ecosystem.

“New technologies such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, data management, automation and an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape are flooding the technology industry at pace.

“Partners must prioritise and modernise solutions aligned to internal capacity and end-user demand while also exploring viable strategies and practical methods to achieve scale.”
