Introduced in 2025, the EDGE Brains Trust

Behind every world-class event is a team of world-class minds. In 2025, ARN and Reseller News introduced a Brains Trust of renowned industry leaders to help shape the partner experience and ensure the program delivers maximum value.

This highly credentialed group brings decades of channel expertise, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of what’s next for the A/NZ ecosystem. Working closely with the EDGE team, they help define the agenda, format, and key takeaways, ensuring the program is relevant, actionable, and aligned to real business goals.

Their collective mission? To make EDGE not just inspiring, but transformative. Attendees can expect meaningful insights, practical guidance, and a clear roadmap for capitalising on the opportunities emerging across the channel.
