Five Reasons Why You Should Attend ITEX 2019

ITEX Education & Exposition is the largest, most-extensive trade show connecting vendors with Business Solutions Providers (BSPs), specifically Managed Service Providers, copier and printer dealers, and IT VARs. Since the show began in 2001, ITEX has provided BSPs with access to top-notch, vendor-neutral education, the newest technology trends and widely accepted practices to help BSPs grow their businesses.

If you’re unsure whether to attend this year’s show, here are the top five reasons you should head to Las Vegas this April:

1. Verified Tips to Increase Profits

ITEX is the only event designed to provide BSPs with education on how to succeed in today’s competitive environment. Through a variety of courses fit for every member of your team—from dealer principals to service techs to your marketing team—the show provides hands-on instruction related to adding solutions to your current offerings, real-world examples of how to improve service to your customers and information on the latest best practices within the industry. ITEX 2019 will deliver insight to help increase profits and streamline your business.

2. Learn from Dealers—NOT Vendors

Another factor that makes ITEX unique: its organizers work tirelessly to gather successful dealers from around the country to present education courses to attendees. These BSPs deep-dive into best practices and tactics that have proven to be effective for their own businesses. So you can skip the vendor sales pitch courses that other trade shows offer in favor of profitable dealers who will share practical, proven advice you can implement when you get back to the office.

3. Network with 100+ Exhibitors

Learning best practices and how to grow your business from dealers is important, but ITEX takes things to the next level by providing exposure to top software and hardware dealers on the show floor. The show’s vendor-neutral approach ensures multiple sellers of everything from MPS and document-management software to IT and telephony services to print hardware and consumables will be available to expand not only your network, but your solution offerings as well.

4. NEW: Reseller Automation

One of the main goals of ITEX is to provide BSPs with cutting-edge technologies, information and resources to help their businesses succeed. To do so, the show is adding a reseller automation track to its lineup this year. Learn how other dealers have used modern software tools to automate different aspects of their businesses, standardizing workflows like accounts payable, marketing, and even service.

5. NEW: Smart Office

In addition to reseller automation, ITEX is adding Smart Office to its offerings in 2019. Not unlike Smart Home technologies, Smart Office software is becoming more prevalent in the workplace to help lower costs, while making the office safer and remotely manageable. Consider how your business would change if you could remotely monitor your thermostat or team’s computers, and oversee access to your building and/or office space at the same time. ITEX’s Smart Office will explore all of these aspects and more, with practical application suggestions to better your business.

By attending ITEX 2019, BSPs will have access to engaging education and the opportunity to network with exhibitors to improve their businesses. With this exposure, you’ll return home fully equipped to thrive and, as the show’s theme suggests, “Own the Office, Piece by Piece.”

ITEX 2019 will be held at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas from April 24-25. Visit itexshow.com and take advantage of Super Early Bird Pricing by Feb. 15.
