In our first video cast of 2016, hosts [Charlene O'Hanlon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleneohanlon), channel industry editor & writer, and [Diane Krakora](https://www.partner-path.com/about/team/diane/), CEO of PartnerPath, chat about top channel predictions for the New Year. What's going to happen with channel partner program structures and how will the profile of the channel evolve? More partners, more partnering, solution selling and IOT channel opportunities are also hot topics.
