Vertiv gathered over 250 channel leaders and partners across Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan for the 2025 Asia Channel Summit. Held at the Sheraton Grand Danang Resort & Convention Center in Da Nang, Vietnam, the three-day event underscored the company’s commitment to innovation, collaboration, and empowering its partner ecosystem to lead a rapidly evolving digital world.
With the theme, “Innovate,” the summit invited partners to be at the forefront and respond to disruption in the sector. As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and edge deployments reshape IT landscapes across Asia, Vertiv spotlighted the critical role its wide network of partners continues to play in enabling next-generation infrastructure and responding to changing customer demands.
Daniel Sim, senior director for IT distribution and partners for Vertiv Asia, opened the summit by highlighting the transformative power of partnership: “The Asia Channel Summit is where innovation takes flight. It’s a space to spark ideas, build strategic connections, and define the future of digital infrastructure. Our partners are more than participants — they are catalysts. Vertiv is here to support them with breakthrough technologies, expert insights, and a shared vision to lead the AI-driven era.”
Throughout the conference, participants explored future-ready infrastructure solutions through deep dives into AI-ready systems, high-density power designs, and thermal innovations — including liquid cooling technologies. A thought leadership panel featuring representatives from strategic Vertiv partners across the region examined regional market dynamics, AI’s evolving role in data center strategy, and new growth opportunities across sectors.
Paul Churchill, vice president and general manager for Vertiv Asia, emphasized the importance of agility and long-term planning: “Innovation is not a luxury, it’s the foundation of competitiveness AI is accelerating as demands for smarter, more scalable, and environmentally responsible infrastructure persist. Vertiv is committed to equipping our partners with the tools to stay ahead. This summit is a testament to our shared mission: enabling organizations to thrive in a world where digital transformation never stands still.”
