Sol/Con West: Our First Conference Was a Game-Changer
Let's start with the big news: Sol/Con West happened in May, and it exceeded every expectation we had. Our first-ever in-person conference brought together presales professionals for keynote speakers, discussion panels, and hands on workshops, which turned out to be the highlight of the event.
I'll be honest, I was nervous about creating a conference atmosphere centered around small group discussions and interactive sessions. But the feedback was overwhelmingly clear: workshops were exactly what our community needed. Attendees loved the opportunity to network with peers and dive into real-world strategy sessions with immediate, actionable takeaways they could implement with their teams right away.
Save the date: The next Sol/Con event is coming to New York in September. If you're a presales leader and haven't registered yet, head over to presalescollective.com/solcon-2025 now. The success of Sol/Con West has our entire team already brainstorming how to make next year's events even bigger and better. While it's too early to share specifics, I can tell you we're working to make this the can't-miss event for EVERYONE in presales whether you’re a leader, individual contributor, enablement partner, or otherwise, this event will be one to prioritize!
Regional Communities Are Thriving
Our Regional Communities have been absolutely on fire this quarter. We hosted 14 events with over 750 presales professionals connecting with their local peers throughout Q2. We now have active communities in 22 cities across 8 countries, and the momentum keeps building.
The energy and engagement in these local meetups has been incredible to witness. There's something special about connecting with fellow presales professionals in your own backyard, sharing challenges and solutions that are specific to your market and region.
Behind-the-Scenes Innovation: What You Haven't Seen Yet
Some of our biggest developments this quarter have been happening behind the scenes. We brought Bailey on board as our Enablement Content Developer a few months ago, and she's been instrumental in helping us grow, reshape, and improve our enablement offerings.
Our major focus has been replatforming and relaunching our enablement programs. I mentioned this last quarter, but I'm thrilled to share that Presales Academy will launch as an on-demand course in Q3. We're putting the finishing touches on re-recorded videos and content, onboarding our coaching network, and ensuring everything works seamlessly.
We're also giving our membership model a complete facelift to provide more access and engagement opportunities for all members. I won't spoil our full announcement (coming within the next few weeks!), but our overall goal is simple: connect our community with the resources and network you need to excel in our profession.

Partner Forums: Direct Access to Industry Leaders
We launched our first set of partner forums this quarter, giving you direct access to founders and executives at our partner companies. These sessions have been lively discussions on presales topics, offering insights from the expertise behind the company logos that sponsor our events.
These conversations have provided valuable takeaways for everyone involved, but most importantly, they've created opportunities for you to connect directly with industry leaders who are shaping the future of presales.
Your Q2 Call to Action
As we close out this quarter, here's what I want you to do: connect with your local regional community. Head over to Slack and search for your community. They all start with "local-" followed by your city or region name. Can't find yours? Ask around!
And if there's no regional community in your area yet, consider starting one. Reach out to Courtney and me, and we'll get you everything you need to kick off your regional community.
What's Next
Thank you all for making Q2 2025 an amazing quarter. The growth, engagement, and energy in our community has been incredible to witness and be part of.
I can't wait for you to see what we have planned for the rest of 2025. Stay tuned!
