n Vendor Engagement Weekend n •
On Saturday 4th October Tech Data successfully hosted the first Vendor Engagement Weekend at Heythrop Park, Oxford.
Formerly known as ‘SME Training Weekends’ the newly renamed Vendor Engagement Weekend is a step in the right direction to better reflect the content and activities that take place over the course of the day.
‘I attended the Tech Data Vendor Engagement Weekend at the beginning of October and found it to be extremely worthwhile not only in meeting the individual vendors and being kept up to date with the latest technologies but also in getting the chance to network with like-minded companies and also to meet the Tech Data team themselves (plus it never hurts to win £500 of holiday vouchers!) Thanks to all at Tech Data for a brilliant weekend.’
Gavin Young T
oshiba kick-started proceedings with a presentation in the spectacular auditorium at Heythrop Park outlining what Toshiba’s SMB position was for
resellers and their current value proposition. Tere were also Speaking Sessions from Microsoft Lumia Phones, Veeam, Xerox and Microsoft Software, who rounded off the morning presentations highlighting the business benefits of Office 365.
Te exhibition hall saw plenty of diversity and footfall throughout the day hosting a total of 16 stands from vendors including HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and Canon providing demonstrations and displaying the latest products and solutions available to the market.
Te afternoon allowed for further personal interaction between the delegates and vendors as the in-depth training and Q&A sessions took place, followed by the choice of attending a ‘Quick Start Session to Te Art of the Deal’ from leading industry voice CompTIA or a taster Public Sector Workshop.
The next training weekend will be hosted on 14th May, 2015 for our Northern customers at Cranage Hall, Cheshire. If you are interested in securing a place for this event email

Aside from the training and development opportunities throughout the day Tech Data also provided a 3 course meal, evening entertainment, a complimentary overnight stay and a chance to win a whole host of prizes. Gavin Young became the fortunate winner of £500 holiday vouchers and Nathan Cooper from 3C Technology Ltd was the lucky winner of an iPad mini. Nathan explained, ‘I was really impressed at how organised and well set out the whole day was. It was really beneficial to have talks from the bigger vendors in the seminars; this made everyone aware of big changes and new products coming to market. Having Tech Data staff around made the day even better as you could talk to them about any issues or problems you were having. A very positive and helpful weekend overall, looking forward to next year.’
‘It was an excellent day, and a pleasure to meet so many customers and receive positive feedback. Overwhelmingly our customers enjoyed the day saying the mixture of workshops, auditorium and interactive presentations were well organised, informative, varied, and provided opportunities to grow your business with Tech Data.’ Cathi Low, Director of SMB Sales
