DeMarzo, the magazine's editorial director, explains that the awards event "not only celebrates the vitality of the solution provider community, but also affords a unique occasion that brings together the IT industry's leading SPs, consultants, integrators and service organizations to meet with sponsoring vendor companies and the VARBusiness editorial and management teams." The awards event, along with seminars held during the day, provides a unique opportunity for sponsoring IT vendors to access key executives from the solution provider community. This year's platinum sponsors are IBM, Oracle and Symantec. Gold sponsors are APC, FourJ's, Hitachi, SMC, Sun Microsystems, Toshiba and Veritas Laura Ingraham will give her views on the current political and cultural landscapes. In addition to her own nationally syndicated radio program, Ingraham is an author, frequent columnist and television commentator.
