John DiLullo, president of Americas International at Avaya

CANCUN, MEXICO – Avaya welcomes more than 300 top executives from its channel partners to the Avaya Executive Partner Forum event here Thursday morning, opening its time with its partners with a general session including presentations from Americas channel chief Karl Soderlund, Avaya Americas boss John DiLullo, go-to-market president Tom Mitchell, global channel programs boss Barat Dickman, and many others.

I’m fortunate enough to be in attendance, and will be bringing you live updates as they happen from the Gran Melia resort here.

Please join me after the jump for the latest from the conference, starting at about 9:00 am Central time.
