D&H Canada’s Toronto THREAD Technology Roadshow a Success

D&H Canada held its THREAD Technology Roadshow in Toronto last week. It took place on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at The International Centre in Mississauga, ON, west of downtown Toronto.

The event featured more than 25 vendors along with seminar sessions on topics like AI readiness, the upcoming Win 11 device refresh, Modern Solutions, and more. The festivities kicked off with an industry address from D&H Canada General Manager Michelle Biase.

The D&H Canada THREAD events are continuing to expand in scope and in number, including more partner engagement opportunities, vendor content, and peer networking. At this event, the company hosted its first D&H Canada Vendor Summit, which included a ceremony for winners of D&H Canada’s first Vendor of the Year Awards. The Toronto THREAD seminars were presented by top-flight vendors like Cisco, Lenovo, HP, Micron, Microsoft, and LG.

D&H Canada’s next event is co-located with the Dallas D&H THREAD Technology Roadshow, October 21through 23, which will be home to the D&H Canada Partnerfi Fall Symposium this year. Partnerfi is D&H’s partner engagement community, which launched in May 2024 in Canada. In addition, a Montreal THREAD Roadshow event is scheduled for November 14.

Here are some highlights from the event this year in Toronto.
