Episode 23: Microsoft Inspire Recap with Eddie Bader

Microsoft Inspire 2023 just wrapped up, but what should you know? Eddie Bader joins us to share his takeaways from the conference. Eddie is the Director of Projects, Process Management & Strategic Alliances with 6th Street Consulting, a Consulting firm focusing in on all things Microsoft, specializing around user productivity and collaboration on SharePoint and Office 365. Eddie also serves as the President of the International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (Americas), commonly referred to as IAMCP.

Eddie stated that the overwhelming themes of the conference were around the adoption of AI and on the success of the Microsoft Partner. He gave the charge to specialize, productize offers and create IP. Be creative and drive innovation by not focusing on ‘selling AI, but the business outcomes of AI’. He also believed that Microsoft is listening more to the ‘voice of the partner’ and that there was ‘gold in every session’ of the conference.

We appreciate how Eddie spoke about various communities coming together, including IAMCP, WIC and BCPA. Together, we can be ‘unstoppable’. Get involved in these wonderful communities.
