The Dog days of Summer means we are that much closer to SUSE Digital Partner Summit

Two weeks – we’ll be firmly in September with kids in some form of school AND the SUSE Digital Partner Summit beginning its first day (hint: register!). As mentioned in an earlier post day, 1 features a keynote from Melissa Di Donato and Paul Devlin and the announcement of the SUSE One Partner Program and why the program is evolving to the specializations of INNOVATE, BUILD, SELL, MANAGE, SERVICE and TRAIN to be covered by Rachel Cassidy. Rachel will be joined by Julie Baldwin as they discuss how one of our partners have found ways to stay relevant in a cloud-first world.

But I’m here to talk about day 2 which is 16 September. This is the day where partners will get the opportunity to discover how the specializations support how they work with customers and the benefits of working the SUSE. Rachel will also have Julie Baldwin back to go deeper into the MANAGE specialization. Joel Petlick will also join Rachel to show how the SELL specialization helps partners sell better including unveiling our new Deal Registration program. Plus, there will be time on this day to ask the questions you are burning to ask about the program.

Both days are important to SUSE partners for very different reasons – day 1 to learn about the SUSE One Partner Program changes and why the program is changing and day 2 to learn how these changes will affect partner relationships with SUSE going forward. I hope we see many partners there for both days. One link signs one up for both days. And we will be posting recordings of Partner Summit to the SUSE One Partner Program Platform in case partners can’t make it. See you online!
