Upcoming events
Launch is 23 September. Ten virtual vertical workshops, a monthly Community session, the 5P System and BGF Capital Readiness. Open to Ingram Micro Microsoft partners.
Launch webinar, 3.00 to 4.00pm. Confirmed
Vertical workshops. One sector a month, delivered once, virtually
Community experiences, with a physical working session once a quarter
Physical Community working sessions, one a quarter
This calendar is for Ingram Micro Microsoft partners.
The Cumulus Growth Programme is delivered by TechGrowth for Ingram Micro. Every event below is open to Ingram Micro partners who buy Microsoft through Ingram, at the tier shown on the card.
Every partner enters through Community. Partners who want to go deeper and faster progress into Practice at £3,500 a year, or Executive at £12,000 a year. You will see events your tier does not include, on purpose.
Practice is a structured group programme to build and scale your Secure AI practice using the 5P System. It also includes all ten vertical workshops, the Offer Factory build cycles, and eligible access to BGF Capital Readiness.
Executive applies the 5P System one to one with your leadership and commercial teams. We build it together, not for you.
Vertical workshops are £500 each for Community members, and included with Practice and Executive.
Not buying Microsoft through Ingram Micro yet? Ask us for a referral and we will introduce you.
Ten minutes of reach. A deeper experience every month.
Each month opens with a ten-minute Cumulus segment inside the Ingram partner webinar. That points at the deeper Community experience: physical once a quarter, expanded online in the other two months. Alongside it runs one virtual vertical workshop, and the 5P System for Practice and Executive members.
Practice dates assume cohort one onboards in November, following a validated paid intake. That is a programme milestone rather than an event, so it does not appear as a card below. If the cohort starts later, every 5P System date moves with it.
Dates are confirmed only where the card says so. CONFIRMED means agreed and dated. TARGET means agreed in principle, date or venue outstanding. PLANNED is intended cadence. TBC depends on a confirmation we do not yet have.
September 2026 to August 2027.
Filter by your membership tier, or by month.
Ingram-hosted webinars are joined through your own Ingram Micro Partner Development Manager. Everything else shows Register interest, and becomes bookable once the date and the booking page exist.
The tier filter shows what that tier can attend. Practice and Executive can attend everything, so both show the full calendar. Community shows the free events and the workshops, which are £500 each at that tier.
No vertical workshop that month. September is launch month and December is kept clear by design, so the quarter can close. Try another month, or All months.

Who to send Owners and directors
Executive members. The 5P System is applied one to one with your leadership and commercial teams, in your own offices, and scheduled directly with you. It carries no fixed dates, so it does not appear above.
We will introduce you.
The Cumulus Growth Programme is open to Ingram Micro Microsoft partners. If you buy your Microsoft licences elsewhere, or direct, becoming an Ingram Micro Microsoft partner is straightforward, and we can make the introduction.
A referral, not a sales process
Tell us about your business below. We pass your details to the right Microsoft Partner Development Manager at Ingram Micro, and they take it from there. There is no charge and no obligation.
Usually a reply within a working day.
Access to the whole calendar
Community membership is free and opens the webinars, the WhatsApp partner-update channel and the quarterly Community working sessions. Workshops are £500 each at Community, or included at Practice and Executive.
Forty-seven events across the year.

Calendar what is agreed. Let partner behaviour earn the rest.
Launch is confirmed for 23 September. October begins controlled activation. The programme scales on what partners actually do, not on what a calendar predicted a year out.
