Celebrating Partner excellence across EMEA & LATAM in FY26

I had the privilege of hosting the EMEA & LATAM 2026 Partner Summit and Awards in Amsterdam from March 18–20, 2026. As NetApp’s flagship partner event, it brought together our valued partners from EMEA and LATAM for two days of inspiration, collaboration, and celebration.

The Summit featured insightful keynote presentations, interactive breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and our highly anticipated annual Partner Awards. It was truly the perfect timing to meet all our EMEA & LATAM partners in one location to shape our future

Partners are, and will always be, at the heart of NetApp’s success, and the strength of our partner ecosystem remains a key differentiator. I am confident that we are well-positioned to continue delivering innovation, customer success, and sustainable growth across EMEA and LATAM.
