The Partner Summit Edge
Welcome to the official blog of Partner Summit 2006. The Partner Summit team is getting ready to descend on San Diego to prepare for the arrival of over 2200 channel partner executives - the most we've ever had. San Diego will never be the same - believe it or not we will be occupying over 3000 hotel rooms the week of the summit. We expect a pretty global group - with well over 50% of the attendees coming from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
