Griffin's channel poker tournament and fun casino is set to return on 4th October at Sandown Park and is billed as a 'great chance' for Griffin to reveal its hand to partners and give a first look at product roadmaps and strategies for 2011. Partners also get to network with Griffin staff, carriers and peers.

This year Griffin will highlight how partners can capitalise on its new virtualisation and cloud offerings, as well as enhancements to its MPLS networking products.

Andrew Dickinson, Managing Director, said: "This is a good opportunity to give partners an exclusive preview of our plans for 2011 and to have a bit of fun. Our top 20 partners get a seat at the poker table to win some fantastic prizes donated by BT Wholesale, Ericsson, Softcat and Virgin Media. There is a fun Blackjack and Roulette competition for all Partners to participate in."
