IT Partners: the 16th edition lost 1% of visitors

The IT Partners show was launched in 2006 at Disneyland Paris. Since then, the event has only grown in size and has obtained a global representation of the IT (International Technology), Telecoms & Audiovisual market oriented 100% channel.

IT Partners, is the gathering of buyers and decision makers, from security; infrastructures; communication, mobility and networks; logistics and services; document and information management; and audiovisual. There are more than 3,500 companies and 265 suppliers. They contribute to the distribution and trade of innovations enabling the digital transformation of companies.

Others are also heading to the Innovation Forum. A space in which there are 15 speakers. The speakers talk about their vision on the current market, its innovations, and its future prospects. And this, in terms of security, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, data, 5G and telecommunications.

Here are some examples of issues addressed during interventions:

– Evolutions of workspaces: trends, challenges and solutions;
– MDM (Mobile Device Management), the essential of tomorrow;
– Future of Work: from BYOD to BYOM,
– The future of cybersecurity threats: Artificial Intelligence vs Human Intelligence.

The 2022 edition of IT Partners brought together around 5,600 unique visitors and 253 exhibitors over the two days.

According to the press release issued by RX France, the event which was held on June 15 and 16 brought together precisely 5,612 unique visitors, a slight decrease of 1% compared to 2021. At first glance, we think of a calculation error. The team in charge of the show last year (since replaced) had indeed communicated on 7,500 visitors.

Regarding the number of exhibitors present at IT Partners 2022, their number fell 10% compared to the previous edition. On the other hand, indicates the press release issued by the organizers, “the net exhibition area is up by 2%. This proves the interest and the commitment of the brands for this unifying event of Channel IT, Telecoms and Audiovisual. »

RX is at the service of business development, organizes face-to-face, digital or hybrid events, leaders in around twenty different markets with more than 400 events present in 22 countries and 43 sectors of activity.

Among the emblematic shows of RX France and essential on the national and international level, appear MIPIM, MAPIC, Batimat, Pollutec, EquipHotel, Expoprotection, SITL, IFTM Top Resa,
MIPCOM, MIPTV, FIAC, Paris Photo, Maison&Objet and many more… Their events take place in France, China, India, Italy, Mexico, Russia and the United States.

Present as an exhibitor at the 2022 edition of IT Partners, Wavesoft announced to its distribution network that it was the first publisher to have signed the new ISV contract with Report One, its technology partner on reporting. As such, it should be one of the first to make connectors available between Report One’s new business intelligence solution and its management solution for VSEs-SMEs in early October.

For Wavesoft, the IT Partner show was also an opportunity to confirm to its partners its return to growth in 2021 and to reaffirm its confidence in the market outlook. After a year 2020 marked by zero growth, the publisher recorded a 9% increase in revenue last year, to €2.6 million. While the first quarter of 2022 remained on the same slope (+10%), Wavesoft began to feel a weakening in the second quarter, which it puts down to the cooling of the business climate.

A law which will require the four million French companies to electronically transmit their collection flows to the tax authorities by January 2026 and which will involve for many of them correcting, or even completely renewing their management system. A project that should really start from the beginning of 2023 for the publisher, which it hopes to eventually deploy these connectors to 50% of its customer base when Report One’s embedded technology is currently used by 20% of its approximately 27,000 users. .

Over the years, IT Partners has established itself as a leading event for players involved in the distribution of technological products. In this context, Reed Expositions France announces that IT Partners, a leading event dedicated to the IT Channel, has taken the decision, in consultation with all the actors of the community mobilized for the event, to express its wish to meet at a good time of year for business.
