Exertis, a leading technology distributor, is proud to announce the resounding success of its inaugural Engage Expo 2025, held on 27 February at the Heritage Hotel in Killenard, Co. Laois. Tailored specifically for IT partners, the event showcased a comprehensive array of solutions from top technology brands including Cisco, Dell and Fortinet, to name a few, offering attendees an exclusive, hands-on experience with the latest innovations poised to elevate business offerings.
The expo facilitated direct engagement between the Exertis IT reseller community and Exertis’s extensive vendor network, fostering the development of new partnerships and the strengthening of existing ones. Dedicated breakout sessions provided fresh insights into industry trends and uncovered potential growth avenues tailored to customers’ needs.
A panel discussion hosted by Jim Lehane, director of enterprise & cyber sales at Exertis with Rod McCarthy, DCC Group managing director, Pamela Farrell, managing director of HCS, and Steve MacNicholas, CEO of Ekco, provided valuable insights on scaling their businesses for investment or sale, covering key strategies for growth and market positioning. This was followed by a compelling keynote from renowned Irish economist, author and podcaster, David McWilliams.
David shared some of his unique perspectives on global economics, Ireland’s economic landscape and future trends. His combined storytelling, humour and expert analysis left attendees with plenty to talk about late into the evening.
