GTIA takes the work seriously, and that means showing up where the channel is.

Last week, CEO Dan Wensley, board member Carrie Green, and advisory board member Luis Giraldo were in Vancouver for the CanIT onTour Roadshow, a full day built around helping MSPs grow, connect, and take something practical back to their businesses.

GTIA is a proud partner of The CanIT Collective, and events like this are a reminder of why that relationship matters.

"There's a difference between contacts and people you can call on a Tuesday afternoon when something goes wrong."

Brook Lee, 2026 GTIA North America Community Leadership Award winner, tells a story in her interview with eChannel News that a lot of members will recognize.

When she joined her company, she realized there was an opportunity to get more of her colleagues plugged into the GTIA resources their membership already unlocked.

So she went top-down. Started with HR. Got the wider team signed up (it's free for every employee once your company joins).

Worth a watch if you've ever wondered how to get more value out of what's already yours.

The biggest learning moments in Josh's career have never happened alone.

The conversations that move your business forward don't happen on a screen.

3 days. 160 vendors. The ideas and peers you can't get to online. This is where the Channel Effect starts — one connection or idea creating momentum across the channel.

"If I can do it, so can you."

Tracy Pound wasn't sure GTIA was for her. One community event later, she was on a path to become Global Chair of the Board.

Her "Why GTIA" is the people who made that possible.
