Computer Dealer News has commissioned Evans Research Corp. to determine the Top 75 Canadian Resellers and

The event will have a special jazz theme and about 200 guests are expected. Confirmed sponsorships are in place and include Hewlett-Packard, Ingram Micro and NEC Mitsubishi, Microsoft, Symantec and Maxtor.
As a value-added component, Bruce Stuart, President of ChannelCorp, a leading international educator and consultant, will moderate a three-hour afternoon session that will bring together our sponsors and a representative group formed from Canada’s Top 100 resellers. Stuart will offer insight into the characteristics that define the most successful solution-providers.
