TOPGUN themed event slated to be the largest in the history of the indirect cloud services channel
DATE XX, 2019 – Sandy, UTAH – Telarus, LLC, master agent of network, contact center, mobility, and cybersecurity today announced the two keynote speakers that will be presenting at the 2019 Telarus Partner Summit: Captain Dan “Yank” Pedersen and TOPGUN pilot and POW Captain Charlie Plumb. They will both be presenting to what is expected to be a record turnout for a master agent conference, where over 50 training sessions will be focused on charting a course for technology transformation. Telarus Partner Summit 2019, which will be held at the recently opened Gaylord Rockies on August 7-10, is now open for general registration to sales partners of Telarus and members of the media.
“March 3, 2019, was the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School – commonly referred to as TOPGUN. Our speakers at this year’s Partner Summit are legends in the TOPGUN world. Captain Pedersen was charged by the Navy to start TOPGUN. I am reading his new book, TOPGUN: An American Story and can’t wait to hear these stories in person,” said Amy Bailey, VP of marketing for Telarus. “Our other legendary speaker is Captain Charlie Plumb. Captain Plumb was a TOPGUN pilot and flew the F-4 Phantom jet on 74 successful combat missions over North Viet Nam. On his 75th mission, with only five days before he was to return home, Plumb was shot down, captured, tortured, and imprisoned. He spent the next 2,103 days as a Prisoner of War in communist prison camps.”
Telarus Partner Summit 2019 is moving to Denver, CO and will be held at the newly opened the Gaylord Rockies Resort. The conference will offer partners over 30 different classes on topics ranging from emerging technologies like IoT, personal development, social media, to technical tracks covering SD-WAN, cloud contact center, and cybersecurity. Agents will also have opportunities to schedule private 1-on-1 appointments with executives from over 74 leading technology vendors and Diamond sponsors like AT&T, AireSpring, NICE InContact, CenturyLink, Comcast Business, IBM, RingCentral, and TalkDesk.
“We have an amazing lineup of speakers, content, and activities that are going to ‘WOW’ our guests,” said Patrick Oborn, co-owner of Telarus and original creator of Telarus Partner Summit. “With over 40,000 square feet of exhibit space, you will get to engage with suppliers on a new level. And our Technology Lab will let you experience technology hands on. Are you confused about how SD-WAN works? See our live demonstration of SD-WAN with Viasat and the in-house internet. We are also super excited to host the Alliance of Channel Women and look forward to hearing JJ DiGeronimo deliver their keynote speech. JJ brings insight into effective leadership, diversity, and inclusion strategies to retain & advance talent.”
