Why vendors and partners in Southeast Asia should attend WOTC Leadership Summit Asia 2026

The Women of the Channel (WOTC) Leadership Summit Asia takes place on 9 September 2026 at the Pan Pacific Orchard in Singapore.

The technology channel has never been more focused on leadership, talent development and building stronger ecosystems. For vendors and partners looking to showcase their presence in Asia, the Women of the Channel (WOTC) Leadership Summit Asia offers a unique opportunity to do all three in one place.

Taking place on 9 September 2026 at the Pan Pacific Orchard in Singapore, WOTC Asia brings together influential female leaders, rising talent and advocates from across the region’s technology ecosystem.

Unlike traditional channel events that focus primarily on products, sales and technology roadmaps, WOTC Asia is designed around leadership development, community building and professional growth for women in the channel ecosystem. The summit provides attendees with access to thought leadership sessions, motivational keynotes, interactive peer discussions and networking opportunities aimed at helping technology professionals accelerate their career development and leadership skills.

A highlight for this year’s summit will be an executive panel feature male speakers from the channel ecosystem in the region. The Executive Panel: Men as Allies: From Awareness to Action will explore how male allies can advocate for equitable opportunities, challenge bias in real time, and help create cultures where women in the channel can thrive. Through real-world examples and honest reflection, speakers will unpack what works, what doesn’t, and where organizations still fall short.

Another exciting session this year will be the closing keynote by Amy Kunrojpanya, Chief Business Officer & Board Director at Emm Technology. Kunrojpanya’s session titled, The Power of Pain: reframing struggle, strength and the need to listen to our bodies, will focus on the importance of taking care of one’s health in today’s busy society.

Opportunities for vendors and partners

For vendors, the event presents an opportunity to engage directly with senior decision-makers and emerging leaders who influence channel strategy, partnerships and business transformation across Asia. As the summit is specifically designed to foster meaningful conversations, attendees will have peer-to-peer relationship building and long-term professional connections rather than purely transactional interactions.

Meanwhile, partners can benefit equally by gaining insights into leadership challenges, talent retention, diversity initiatives and business growth strategies while expanding their network across distributors, solution providers, MSPs and vendors.

The summit also arrives at a time when organizations across Asia are placing greater emphasis on developing diverse leadership teams and creating opportunities for the next generation of technology leaders. The event's advisory board includes executives from organizations such as AWS, IBM, FPT Software, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Wiz, ensuring discussions remain relevant to the current realities of the channel.

For vendors and partners seeking to grow their influence, develop future leaders and build stronger relationships across Asia’s channel community, WOTC Leadership Summit Asia 2026 offers a valuable platform to connect, learn and lead.

As the WOTC program continues to evolve into a global ecosystem for community, recognition and inspiration, attending the summit is becoming increasingly important for organizations committed to long-term channel success.
