CHANNEL COLLABORATION SUMMIT 2019

www.tbsd.com.au/conference 2019 KUALA LUMPUR CHANNEL COLLABORATION SUMMIT 2019

The Kuala Lumpur 2019 Channel Collaboration Summit will be TBS Distribution’s 9th Channel conference and the third held overseas. Last years conference was held in Auckland New Zealand and was an outstanding success, so much so we’ve gone for the international flavour again this year.

Held between the 9th and 12th of September this year we are holding the conference in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia. The hotel venue is the Sofitel KL Damansara.

Last year we announced our Partner 2 Partner (P2P) collaboration channel program. This year we have changed the title to “The Channel Collaboration Summit” to better reflect the style and format that this years event will take. With the success we have had with P2P over year we will be showcasing some great case studies.

Based on previous years, we can expect an attendance of 120 delegates comprising of 50 channel partner companies and 70-80 partner delegates. The balance will be made up of TBS Distribution, TBS Partner Services, Telstra management and of course our sponsors and presenters.

As with previous conferences we’ve created an interesting format that we believe will provide for an exciting and rewarding week.

For those familiar with our past conferences there is one big notable change. We have included a full morning of “Break out sessions” which will enable partners to have more in-depth discussions around new products and services.

HD MORNING MARKETS & FOODIE TOUR (4HRS)

0800 Set off on a morning tour like no other! Join a local guide for a tour of Kuala Lumpur’s morning markets and favorite street stalls for a chance to experience an authentic slice of Malaysian culture. Journey out to Kampung Baru, a 110-year- old village located in the heart of modern Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to its food-loving residents and rich traditional culture, Kampung Baru is the ideal place to start a KL food tour. Stroll through the street stalls in search of the area’s best nasi lemak, a fragrant rice dish that is the breakfast of choice for most Malaysian citizens. Savour the subtle flavours of coconut milk mixed with fiery sambal sauce while enjoying a bit of people watching.

Continue to a local market where a riot of colour, sounds and smells awaits. Listen as the guide explains the various spices, fruits, vegetables and snacks that are on offer and observe scenes of daily market life as shoppers haggle with vendors for the freshest goods. Having tantalized the taste buds at the market, it is time to eat again. Pop in to a local coffee house to sample another Malaysian favorite: curry laksa. Enjoy the blend of sweet and sour that makes this dish so popular.

Venture back into the heart of the city, taking public transport to reach the historic centre. Wander past elegant colonial buildings and colourful houses of worship, getting a glimpse of the city’s remarkable cultural heritage. Sit for some Indian snacks and a cup of sweet teh Tarik, local tea served with condensed milk, while observing the daily life in Little India. Watch as vendors sell bright garlands of marigolds and sari-clad women rush home with armfuls of fresh produce. Following this morning of sights, sounds, tastes and smells return to the hotel or continue discovering the city independently.

Please note: all dishes mentioned are offered on a share basis. The routing of this program may be changed subject to the location of your Hotel but all experiences will be enjoyed.

On the return, visit the Royal Selangor Pewter factory where over 250 skilled craftspeople have expanded the uses of pewter.
