GAMMAVERSE 2025

Gammaverse is back — and it’s all about you.

Registration is now open for Gammaverse 2025

We’ve reimagined our flagship partner event to deliver one thing: real value for your business. No fluff. No filler. Just sharp insight, honest conversations, and practical ideas you can use to grow, adapt, and lead.

Built on the momentum of Gammaverse 2024, this year’s event brings together industry leaders, disruptive thinkers, and the partner community that powers it all.

Because we’re not here to talk at you we’re here to stand with you. To challenge the status quo, unlock new opportunities, and show what Good Together really means.

Agenda Highlights


From scaling Softcat into a sales powerhouse to helping shape Gamma’s channel future, Martin Hellawell brings unmatched insight into what it takes to build high-performing, disruptive businesses.

In this keynote conversation, Martin sits down with Gamma’s MD-Channel, Will Morey to reflect on the themes shaping the day: challenger thinking, transformation and the next wave of channel growth.

They’ll explore:

  • How a bold, sales-led mindset helped Softcat stand out and scale fast
  • The transformation taking place within Gamma, and what it means for partners
  • What’s coming next in the channel, including new opportunities and strategic plays
  • Observations on the wider IT and comms landscape, including how partners are diversifying and evolving their business models
  • Expect straight talk, valuable takeaways, and a fresh perspective on what it takes to stay ahead in a shifting market


The channel is changing fast. But what’s really driving it?

To get closer to the answer, Gamma has launched a new Voice of the Channel framework, a structured way to listen, capture, and act on partner feedback.

In this session, we’ll share the first wave of insights: what partners are telling us about shifting customer demands, emerging tech trends, growth opportunities, and what they really want from their vendors.

This isn’t a one-off survey it’s the start of an ongoing conversation with you, our partners. Join us to see how your voice is shaping our priorities, hear what your peers are saying, and explore what it all means for the road ahead.


In a market full of one-size-fits-none solutions, partners need more than great products, they need a portfolio that fits, flexes and fuels growth. In this session, we’ll explore how Gamma’s joined-up portfolio helps you compete on more than just price: by solving real customer problems, opening new conversations, and creating long-term stickiness.

We’ll break down where each product plays best, how to bundle for value and why the smartest partners aren’t just selling, they’re solving.


Operational complexity can hold partners back but it doesn’t have to.

In this conversation, John Murphy from Gamma sits down with Georgina Lord, COO of Clear Business, to explore how our partnership is helping channel partners simplify operations and focus on growth.

They’ll unpack how Clear Business enables partners to remove the heavy lifting while still benefiting from Gamma’s market-leading technology and infrastructure.

Join us for a real-world look at partnership done right and how simplicity can be a strategic advantage.


Hosted by Gamma CFO Bill Castell, this session takes a candid look at the current investment landscape and what it means for you. With experts from across the industry, we’ll explore the trends shaping valuations, deal activity and the future of the channel.

But this isn’t just about exits. It’s about unlocking new levels of resilience, credibility, and growth, whether you're preparing for a sale or simply building a stronger, more valuable business.

We'll explore how Gamma’s FTSE 250 status, financial stability, and long-term strategy can create a multiplier effect on your business, helping partners stand out in a crowded market, build investor confidence, and future-proof their customer base in uncertain times.

In today’s market, who you partner with matters more than ever. Let’s talk about why.


One size doesn’t fit all and that’s why our proposition is built to flex.

Our UCaaS portfolio helps partners serve every customer, from SMEs to enterprise, while driving greater wallet share and long-term value.

In this session, we’ll spotlight real partner success stories, showing how others in the channel are growing their base, expanding services, and delivering standout experiences.

And it’s not just about products, we’ll show how Gamma backs partners with the tools, enablement, and support that turn potential into performance.

Join us to see how Gamma is enabling channel growth end to end.


In a world where digital agility defines success, we want to raise the bar for partner enablement.

Join CTO Colin Lees as he unveils how Gamma has revamped and reimagined its platforms with one clear goal: to make it easier, faster, and smarter for partners to succeed.

This session will explore how our platform investments are delivering a more seamless, intuitive experience, empowering partners to operate more efficiently, unlock insights, and scale with confidence.


In this interactive Q&A session, Gamma’s senior leaders from across the business come together to answer the questions that matter most to our partners.

Expect straight answers, honest reflections, and the chance to hear how Gamma is tackling the topics that really matter to you. From platform performance and product roadmaps to service support and commercial direction.
