International Association of Microsoft Certified Partners

To be honest, I’d never heard of this association till another partner mentioned it to me last week . . .

Who are they ? Well this is from their about page -

IAMCP was formed in 1994 to provide Partners a greater voice into Microsoft and to facilitate mutual growth and business development.

We have members and chapters worldwide. Chapters are organized and led by member volunteers in cities around the world.  Chapter membership fosters personal relationships that lead to mutual business opportunities.  The large number of member companies provides a rich array of non-competing service providers with whom you can offer an expanded portfolio to your clients.  It also provides a great opportunity for those member companies without direct Microsoft Partner Account Management to work more closely with the local Microsoft office.

To find out more just go here.

They’re also running an event at our offices in Reading on the 12th October which I’m going to try and pop along to. For more information go here.

If there’s any current members out there I’d be interested to hear about your experiences.
