InnerCircle 2006 was a partner event that took place July 31, August 1 and August 2, 2006 in Indianapolis, Indiana. PreferredPartner invited a select few of our Influencers to take part in this inaugural event. Ten of PreferredPartner's Business Partners were in attendance, along with representatives from Synnex and executives from IBM... our InnerCircle. The purpose of the event was to familiarize our partners with one another, highlight each company's skill sets, and foster a stronger partnering environment to increase our cross selling success.

The main day of conference consisted of dynamic presentations from each of our Business Partners. In the morning session, they introduced themselves, their company and gave a brief overview of the main IBM skills they possess. In the afternoon, Cross Selling was the topic of discussion, with each Partner presenting their Cross Selling techniques. The meeting session wrapped up with a strategy session with the IBM executives on how the IBM sales teams can leverage the InnerCircle skill. The day wrapped with a posh and opulent party at PreferredPartner CEO Steve Churchill's home.

During the final day of InnerCircle 2006, Business Partners and Executives alike took to the race track at Track Attack Driving School in Indianapolis (pictures below) . There, everyone was instructed on how to operate a real race car on an authentic track. After "driving school" commenced, it was race time! At speeds of 70 mph, the InnerCircle showed their skills on the track. It was truly a high octane time for all!

PreferredPartner's InnerCircle began to immediately see the results of this event. New partnerships were formed and software and services opportunities developed.

PreferredPartner would like to thank everyone who attended InnerCircle 2006. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again next year!
