Mark your calendars for May 17-18 and book a flight to Philadelphia for Supernode, Crossbeam’s first annual conference. The two-ish day partnership conference is for those who grow and scale partner ecosystem — the perfect event if you enjoy this blog.
We get it, it’s been a while since you’ve attended an IRL event. Here are 11 more reasons why you should grab your tickets today (feel free to forward along to whoever approves your conference and travel budgets!):
- This event is solely for partnership professionals. No more parsing through event attendees to find the handful of your peers to network with. At Supernode, every one of the 200+ attendees is a potential partner.
- One of the best ways to accelerate your partner program is by adopting tried and true best practices from your peers. (It’s why we send out our best insights weekly directly to your inbox). Supernode will feature 13 keynotes on Ecosystem Ops, the art of partnerships, the future of the ecosystem, and much much more.
- You will get to hear from speakers at the top of the partnership game including
- Allan Adler, Managing Partner, Digital Bridge Partners
- Lindsey DeFalco, VP of Product, Crossbeam
- Sara Du, CEO & Co-Founder, Alloy Automation
- Jared Fuller, Co-Founder, PartnerHacker Daily
- Chelsea Graham, Partner Sales Executive, Highspot
- Cristina Flaschen, CEO, Pandium
- Lisa Hopkins, Head of Partnerships, Amplitude
- Brian Jambor, Head of Partnerships, Nacelle
- Jasmine Jenkins, Product Marketing Manager, Crossbeam

- No screens. This event isn’t “hybrid” – we’ve had enough of Zoom. A trip to the City of Brotherly Love with your partnership friends might be just what you need to re-inspire and energize yourself.
- 70% of attendees are Director level and above — the decision-makers in your ecosystem will be at Supernode.
- This isn’t a normal “never leave the hotel” conference. After the first day of talks we’ll split up into smaller groups and you’ll get to spend a night out in the town at Philly’s finest restaurants and bars. That means eating this:
