Introducing the New IAMCP Event Portal: Powering Smarter Partner Connections at the UK Partner Exchange
The IAMCP UK Partner Exchange, scheduled for January 29, 2026, at Microsoft’s Paddington offices in London, brings together Microsoft partners from across the UK for a full day of keynotes, business and technical breakout sessions, and valuable collaboration opportunities. This flagship event aims to help partners connect, learn, and grow within the Microsoft ecosystem.
This year, Envision IT is proud to support the event with a new enhancement: the launch of the IAMCP Event Portal, powered by Extranet User Manager. The portal is now live and offers attendees a centralized, modern digital experience, allowing them to pre-book formal Partner-to-Partner (P2P) meetings at the event.
A Modern Digital Experience for Event Attendees
The new IAMCP portal brings together all key event details into an easy-to-navigate hub. Attendees can visit the dedicated UK Partner Exchange page, which features:
- Event overview and logistics
- Full session agenda
- Profiles of speakers and sponsors
- Directory of registered attendees
- Listings of partner organizations
- Networking schedules
In the event portal, attendees can easily connect, explore new partnerships, and access all relevant event details for a seamless event day.
To help you get familiar with the experience, we’ve included an overview video below that walks through the portal’s layout, key navigation areas, and how to find all the relevant event information.
Introducing Structured, Pre-Booked Partner-to-Partner Networking
A key feature of this year’s event is the ability for attendees to pre-book their Partner-to-Partner (P2P) meetings directly through the portal. The UK Partner Exchange includes two focused networking segments:
- Morning: 10:30–11:15
- Afternoon: 12:10–12:55
Each segment offers three 12-minute meetings that attendees can schedule in advance.
How It Works
From the attendee directory, users can:
- Browse participant profiles
- View background information and areas of expertise
- See available time slots
- Book a meeting with a single click
Once a session is booked:
- The time slot becomes unavailable across the system
- It is automatically added to both attendees’ schedules
- The booking is confirmed automatically
- No approval process is required
To help you see this process step‑by‑step, we’ve included a walkthrough video below that shows how to navigate attendee profiles, check availability, book a P2P session, and view your schedule updates in real time.
Get a clear, quick overview of your event day
The portal’s Networking section provides a thorough view of all confirmed bookings, allowing attendees to see easily:
- Who they are meeting
- When their meetings are scheduled
- Which slots are still available
This helps attendees prepare for each discussion and maximizes networking opportunities.
Spotlighting Event Sponsors and Partners
In addition to boosting attendee engagement, the portal includes a dedicated Sponsors page that highlights supporting organizations, enabling attendees to explore new partners and solutions within the Microsoft partner ecosystem directly from the portal.
Built for Today, Ready for Tomorrow
The IAMCP Event Portal sets a new standard for how attendees engage with and prepare for events through:
- Centralized event information
- Rich attendee profiles
- Structured and bookable networking
- Real-time schedule management
…the portal enhances the experience for attendees, sponsors, and organizers alike. It simplifies event operations while fostering more meaningful, intentional engagement, leading to:
- Smoother, more productive meeting experiences
- Deeper, goal‑aligned conversations
- Stronger partner alignment before the event even begins
- Higher‑value networking outcomes driven by curated scheduling
- Better time use for all parties involved, from participants to sponsors and event organizers.
Envision IT is proud to have delivered this platform, leveraging our expertise in secure, intuitive portal solutions to support a more connected, collaborative, and engaged Microsoft partner community.
