Where the only thing rising faster than component prices is our blood pressure.
 
Welcome to RAMageddon Stock tastrophe: Inside the Component Chaos, the live Tech Talk special with VIP’s Head of Purchasing Dave Evans, where he will dive into the IT channel’s favourite hobby: collectively panicking over stock shortages. RAM’s skyrocketing, SSDs are playing hard to get, GPUs are acting like limited edition fashion drops - and resellers everywhere are wondering if they should start trading components like rare collectibles.
 
Dave will unpack why everything’s out of stock and why prices are behaving like they’re on a rollercoaster designed by a maniac.
 
Expect brutal honesty, questionable humour, and at least one moment where we shout “WHY?!” into the void.
 
If you’ve ever had to explain to a customer, why an 8GB stick of RAM now costs the same as a small used car…this is your show.
 
Dave Evans, Head of Purchasing is on the show

Second, we are revealing who the main event sponsor is for TechMAX, which is a big announcement for this year’s show.

Third, we are getting into pricing. What you charge, how you price jobs, and how to stop undercharging while still being fair to customers.
