This week, TD SYNNEX is kicking off its Spring 2024 programming for CommunitySolv, its North American partner community, with events in Las Vegas, Nevada, for its U.S. membership and in Toronto, Ontario, for Canadian members. The sold-out events will offer speakers, networking opportunities and session content that emphasizes innovation, business optimization and operational excellence.

"Our first events of the year emphasize the importance of bringing our community members together to collaborate and capitalize on cosell opportunities that unlock more potential for business growth," said Kaye McMillan, senior vice president of sales development and communities, TD SYNNEX. "CommunitySolv is one of the best ways for partners to create connections across the ecosystem that can drive meaningful business opportunity."

McMillan said both events will highlight high-growth areas of opportunity like AI and security, while also continuing to double down on how service and finance capabilities can help partners reach their goals through operational excellence.

CommunitySolv U.S. will focus on the theme of "Light the Way." TD SYNNEX will also announce two new U.S. Advisory Council members at the event: Dani Lockett, senior director of sales operations of Burwood Group, and Rick White, president and co-founder of vision21 Solutions.

"The Advisory Council plays a critical role in providing the voice of partners to help us shape CommunitySolv to be the most effective it can be," McMillan added. "Dani and Rick have invaluable perspectives, and we welcome them to the U.S. Council."
