More than 150 members of the Google Apps channel program are expected to attend the upcoming gSocial Conference in Sunnyvale, California. The gSocial Conference offers Google Apps resellers, ISVs, and consultants a unique opportunity to learn about market directions, share best practices, and network. The two day gathering, scheduled for November 12th and 13th 2012, is the only independent gathering for the Google Apps channel and offers the best opportunity for channel members to meet and learn from their peers.

"For our second annual gathering, we are focused on peer-to-peer learning and networking", noted Daniel Stevenson, VP, Partnerships and Alliances and Co-Chair of the gSocial Conference. "The channel and our industry are evolving quickly; it is important to step back, assess where we are, and plan for the future."

This year's agenda includes panels and presentations on topics ranging from lead generation and creative marketing programs, to developing profitable service bundles and creating effective partnerships.

"Many of our businesses are seeing extremely rapid growth", notes Crisantos Hajibrahim, Founder and CEO of ViWo and gSocial Co-Chair. "The gSocial Conference helps us benchmark where we are and set directions for the year ahead." Allen Falcon, CEO of Cumulus Global and gSocial co-chair, notes that "Attendees at last year's events left with actionable ideas to grow their businesses. This year, we have doubled the educational content."
