About The CEC

In the last 6 years, The Channel Executive Council (formerly Club50) has grown to be the most powerful group of Channel Leaders in the IT/Cloud/Telecom industries. To expand our mission of giving Channel leaders a trusted environment to discuss trends, obstacles, and thoughts unique to their level, Channel Executive Council has expanded to Europe, with the launch of Channel Executive Council EMEA in 2023.

What Is The Purpose?

This influential community debates, provides answers and forms an industry consensus on the future of the channels in an environment that is unique for high-level channel executives. This enables member companies to benefit by being at the forefront of thinking on the future of the channels either globally or within their region. It enables members to be at the leading edge in understanding and adapting to the latest trends and opportunities in the industry.

Exclusive, Invite-Only Club

The Channel Executive Council and Channel Executive Council EMEA memberships are by invitation only. As there has always been a waiting list to join, the US Council has recently expanded membership to 60 places and only 50 in EMEA. When recruiting new members, they must be proposed by an existing member and a limited number of invitations are sent to carefully selected VPs of global or regional channel sales in the IT/Telecom industries. Council members are carefully selected to ensure they represent a broad spectrum of established and rapidly growing companies in their industries.

Who Are The Members?

The Channel Executive Council members are a mix of Channel Leaders from both established and newer disruptive companies from the IT/Cloud/Telecom industries. The Councils bring together the most important Channel Leaders of the IT/Cloud/Telecom industries in both the US (of whom 70% have global responsibility) and EMEA.

Testimonials

"One of the things I really enjoy about CEC is the relationships that you develop with your peers... People are not just coming in talking about how they've been successful, but they're sharing their struggles and their challenges."
Guy Cunningham Head of Channel Sales at Authentic8
"I've taken a lot of the things that I've learned at these meetings... and immediately applied it to the initiatives that we're doing within the channel. They're actionable ideas that you get, not theoretical."
Michael DePalma VP of Business Development at OpenText
"Once I got to know everybody and understand their business models, I was able to really draw out from them some great ideas, some great concepts that I never would have thought of because I'm so entrenched in my industry."
Brenda Nobleza VP of Americas Channels at Epicor

Membership Activities

Each member group, US and EMEA, meets twice annually in in-person meetings and four times virtually in the US with three virtual meetings each year in EMEA. In addition, there is one global virtual meeting each year to bring leaders together and reach a global understanding of the prominent channel issues of today. Channel Executive Council members also have access to a mix of online and in-person resources to enable them to build relationships, network, and enjoy a truly trusted environment that helps all members develop a more powerful and successful channel strategy.

Additionally, regular sub-groups are formed to provide answers to members’ key challenges and opportunities .
