On Thursday, October 7, 2010, a select gathering of GFI Software EMEA Partners attended a conference in Malta which covered strategic sales, marketing and technical aspects related to the latest GFI solutions.
The audience comprised 60 EMEA distributors, GFI executives, Product Management team members as well as members from the Marketing department and Sales department, totalling over 100 attendees.
Keynote speeches were given by our CEO, Walter Scott, and the executive management team to detail GFI’s corporate strategy and direction, channel updates, and the upcoming product roadmap.
