New Orleans was the place to be this past March, with back-to-back TD SYNNEX conferences. Immediately following the CommunitySolv spring conference was the always spectacular, Red, White and You 2023 Spring Conference. The event took place at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans from March 21-24, 2023. It brought together partners from across the country to discuss changes within the public sector and how they can grow their businesses within this realm. Throughout the week, partners heard from experts, collaborated with other business leaders, and built actionable business plans.
The Red, White and You 2023 Spring Conference featured keynote presentations focusing on this year’s theme, Opportunity Awaits, from Lt. General Russel L. Honoré (Ret.), Kevin Plexico, and Cisco’s own Gary DePreta, Area Vice President Cisco Public Sector State, Local, and Education. DePreta provided the nearly 300 partners who attended the conference with an overview of the U.S. public sector market, highlighting key trends and priorities for state, county, and local government IT decision makers. Most importantly, DePetra discussed how Cisco solutions help these governments address some of the most pressing challenges, outlining opportunities for deepened partnership with industry. In addition to the keynote, DePreta was part of a multi-vendor panel discussing education.
Joining DePreta, Plexico, and Lt. General Honoré were other leaders who participated in round table discussions and presented at various breakout sessions. Bridget Hobbs, Vendor Development Manager II, Cisco SLED Accelerator Program Manager, TD SYNNEX, and Ty Gordon, Vendor Development Manager II, Cisco SLED Accelerator Program Manager, TD SYNNEX, were two of those leaders who presented during one of the breakout sessions.
Although the CommunitySolv and Red, White and You 2023 Spring Conferences are over, it’s the lessons, the new connections, and the refreshed business plans that attendees will carry with them. To learn more about TD SYNNEX’s public sector offerings, click here.
