Ingram Micro ONE 2026 Puts AI to Work for Channel Partner Growth

Two-day North America event will explore business strategies, real-world AI use cases, connected intelligence and new opportunities for partner growth

Irvine, Calif., Nov. 2, 2026 — Ingram Micro will convene hundreds of channel partners and technology vendors at its North America ONE 2026 event to help partners move AI from early conversations to operational use and measurable business growth. The event will take place November 16–18 in Denver, Colorado.

This immersive two-day event will focus on the channel’s shift from AI experimentation to execution. Partners will learn how to operationalize AI, broaden their reach and pair human expertise with business intelligence. They will also hear how peers are using the integrated operational intelligence in the Ingram Micro Xvantage™ platform to identify and generate demand and create more connected experiences.

ONE’s program will address a pressing challenge for partners: turning investments in technology, talent and services into stronger customer outcomes and new revenue streams. Through executive discussions, business-focused sessions, vendor- and peer-led breakouts, a solutions showcase and targeted engagements, attendees will explore AI at scale, technology governance, real-world use cases and how human expertise paired with connected intelligence can reveal demand and help partners sell and serve more proactively.

Moving AI from conversation to implementation and growth

The event’s general session will include a discussion with Ingram Micro CEO Paul Bay and Executive Vice President and President, North America, Bill Brandel, on global investment priorities and opportunities for partner growth.

Additionally, Sanjib Sahoo, Executive Vice President and President, Global Platform Group, and Dham Pathervellai, CTO, Ingram Micro, will explain how AI and intelligent agents are improving partner experiences, accelerating sales cycles and delivering business outcomes at scale. Ingram Micro’s US Senior Vice President of Sales Victor Baez will offer a candid look at how to lead and enable teams in the AI era.

Throughout the event, attendees will explore:

  • What it takes to deliver AI solutions. A session featuring Ingram Micro, NVIDIA and Dell will connect infrastructure choices with customer use cases and business outcomes.
  • Easier connections to Ingram Micro. Sessions on MCP and a partner-led panel will explore connected systems, real-world AI applications and lessons from implementation.
  • Expertise that supports partner growth. A session led by Cheryl Rang, Vice President, Technology Solutions, will address how dedicated support and targeted investment can help partners expand their businesses.
  • Growth beyond Microsoft 365. A Microsoft panel will examine opportunities across AI, Copilot, security, Azure and agents.

Hands-on engagement and customer experience insights

Beyond the main stage, Ingram Micro will debut a Connection Hub in the Solutions Showcase, where attendees can explore MCP through demonstrations and receive live support. Curated journeys will tailor content to specific partner segments and interests, including AI and cybersecurity.

ONE 2026 will also feature a keynote by Will Guidara, award-winning restaurateur, entrepreneur and bestselling author of “Unreasonable Hospitality,” on creating distinctive customer experiences that build advocacy.
