More Than a Conference: A Platform for Brand Visibility and Long-Term Impact
From exclusive access to top Prianto portfolio vendors to the presence of high-level regional partners, the CEE Partner Conference 2025 served as more than a networking event. It was a business accelerator, enabling brand visibility, genuine relationship building, and collaborative momentum. For both vendors and resellers, it proved to be a strategic investment — one that will shape deals, partnerships, and innovation long after the event has ended.
A Celebration of Community and Commitment
The CEE Partner Conference 2025 wasn’t just about presentations and panels – it was a celebration of community, a commitment to collaboration, and a shared investment in a digitally resilient future. Whether through formal meetings or casual conversations over the Danube, the event succeeded in deepening partnerships and creating new opportunities for the region’s vibrant IT ecosystem.
