Da Nang, Vietnam — Innovation took center stage as Vertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, gathered more than 250 top channel leaders and technology partners from 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, the three-day summit was more than just a conference — it was a rallying point for the region’s digital future.
With the theme “Innovate,” the summit challenged partners to rise above disruption and embrace the rapid shifts brought by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and edge technologies. For Vertiv, the message was clear: collaboration is the key to building next-generation IT infrastructure across Asia.
“Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. Our partners are catalysts for transformation,” said Daniel Sim, senior director for IT distribution and partners for Vertiv Asia. “This summit is about sparking ideas, building alliances, and empowering leaders to drive the AI-powered future.”
Attendees were given a front-row seat to what’s next in digital infrastructure, from AI-ready systems and high-density power designs to cutting-edge thermal solutions such as liquid cooling. Industry leaders also joined a thought leadership panel to unpack how AI is reshaping data centers, unlocking growth opportunities, and redefining customer demands across the region.
