Meet the Minds Shaping Distribution’s Future

Why You Should Meet IDC and CONTEXT at GTDC Summit APJ 2025 to Gain a Global Edge in Distribution

In the fast-moving world of tech distribution, having the right insights at the right time is critical. That’s why the GTDC Summit APJ 2025 is the premier gathering for leaders in the Asia-Pacific channel. Held in Singapore November 17-18, it’s where strategy meets intelligence, and where IDC and CONTEXT are showing up to bring both.

The Event That’s Redefining the Channel

GTDC Summit APJ brings together global vendor and distributor leaders for two days of high-impact conversations, networking, and insight, including plenary sessions, ESG-focused discussions, and strategic advisory councils. This isn’t just an event, it’s a signal of where the industry is going next.

From in-depth discussions on ESG priorities to closed-door sessions with the leadership, the agenda is packed with moments that matter. And it all happens in the heart of Singapore’s cultural district.

IDC + CONTEXT + GTDC – Distribution Intelligence in Action

Earlier this year, IDC, the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), and CONTEXT formed a landmark global alliance to deliver something the tech industry has never had before: a single, standardized view of sell-through performance across Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

CONTEXT, as a market intelligence leader in EMEA, brings deep expertise in distributor panel management and data normalization. GTDC contributes daily invoiced sales data from its network of leading distributors. And IDC connects it all with rigorous forecasting, market modeling, and analyst-driven insight.

Together, this partnership offers vendors and distributors a 360-degree global perspective, accurate, consistent, and actionable.

At the GTDC APJ Summit, this initiative comes to life. You’ll have the chance to meet directly with IDC, CONTEXT and GTDC leadership to explore how this intelligence model applies to your business in Asia Pacific and beyond, and to schedule a 1:1 session to see the platform in action.

  • Discover how IDC’s analytics platform integrates with GTDC member data
  • Explore how CONTEXT’s distributor panel expertise enhances regional visibility
  • Understand what the sell-through signals reveal about emerging APJ trends
  • Learn how to use this new insight layer to fine-tune tactical and strategic decisions

It’s the kind of clarity this market has been missing, and at this Summit, you’ll see exactly how it can work for you.
