This was a bi-annual conference, which was conducted in 15 cities in the country. Intel had about 2,000 channel partners and 150 of them from Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchi and Tirupur attended the conference here. The theme was "Multiple Cores Multiple Opportunities." With growth in market, the number of partners had also gone up in Coimbatore. Some of the reasons for increasing business here were considerable purchasing power of people and the need for high-end technology. "Coimbatore is important for Intel from business view point." It was among the top four tier III cities for Intel. Apart from the training, schemes would be launched to motivate the partners and awards would be given to those performing well, Mr. Jagannathan said.
