New this Year to Day two of Partner Summit “The Education Stream”

The Education Partner Summit is an opportunity to get deep insight into the changing dynamics of the schools, TAFE and universities sectors from the Microsoft Education team. With the schools market moving rapidly towards a devolved marketplace, and increasing numbers of institutions implementing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy, the traditional business models of many of our education partners, and of Microsoft, is challenged by new market dynamics.

Education is increasingly a competitive and critical market for Microsoft and our partners, with key organisations seeing the long term value of winning the institution and seeding their brand through these schools to reach teachers, students and parents. The combination of the consumerisation of IT, technology adoption at younger ages, the accelerating desire for 1:1 computing and BYOD are requiring schools to take more innovative approaches to learning in the classroom.

The agenda is specifically focused on meeting the needs of sales and marketing personnel who want the most effective sales messages and strategies to win in a transformed marketplace. With traditional revenue streams being disrupted by increasingly fragmented decision making, the Education Partner Summit will focus on ensuring that you walk away with the information you need to develop an effective and profitable strategy to grow your business, with practical sales resources, and understanding how you can leverage your Microsoft relationship and the resources of the Microsoft Education business to sell alongside you.

The day will benefit sales and marketing teams dealing with schools, TAFEs and Universities. Additionally, the seminar will provide valuable insight to product marketing and development teams who are looking to identify new profitable product and service opportunities within the education sector.
