Since it first launched in Canada in mid-2008, reseller community group HTG Peer Groups has operated separate chapters for its Canadian partners.

But for this year, the groups have decided to flatten things out North America-wide, with Canadian partners joining chapters with U.S.-based partners.

I caught up with HTG CEO Arlin Sorensen at HP Americas Partner Conference 2011 in Las Vegas, and we discuss the reasons for the change, how Canadian partners are being added to new chapters, and the Peer Groups’ priorities for 2011.
