TL;DR: In October 2026, ISL Online and PDQ partners and resellers gathered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, for Grow2Gether, a three-day conference co-hosted with PDQ. We spent the time sharing product news, hearing partner stories, answering open questions, and looking for new ways to grow together.
What makes Grow2Gether special is the people. Partners traveled from different countries and markets (from South Korea to Brazil), and for a few days they shared one room, one table, and one goal: strengthening a community built over many years. Now that ISL Online is part of PDQ, that community has more to offer. Partners can grow their portfolio and give their clients more, and the conference was the place to explore how, together. Here’s how it went.
Day one: sharing where we are heading
We opened the conference with a warm welcome and a keynote from our VP and co-founder, which set the tone for the days ahead. The ISL Online product team then walked partners through the roadmap and a live demo of the latest features. Our sales and partner teams followed with ideas on how to grow together in the market, and we spent time on how ISL Online fits with the tools partners already work with.
The highlight of the day was the partner roundtable. Several of our partners shared what is working in their markets, what challenges they face, and what they need from us next. Honest conversation like this shapes our priorities and helps us understand the market better.
We then welcomed everyone to our European headquarters for a welcome party, where the conversations carried on well into the evening.
Day two: meeting the PDQ team
On the second day, PDQ leadership and sales took the stage to share their story, vision, and plans for working with partners. Partners got to meet the people behind PDQ, see the wider portfolio, and learn how it can complement what they already offer their customers.
Just as important, there was time to ask questions. Partners raised what was on their minds and got open answers. We also looked together for points where ISL Online and PDQ can create more value for partners and their customers.
The day ended with a guided walk through downtown Ljubljana and the conference dinner.
Day three: Slovenia beyond the conference room
The optional third day took us out of the city and into the Julian Alps. In Planica, we climbed to the top of one of the world’s largest ski flying hills, from where the longest ski jump in an official competition was recorded. From there, we continued to the Zelenci nature reserve and walked to the springs where the Sava, Slovenia’s longest river, begins its journey. The day ended at Lake Bled with a stroll along the lake and a slice of traditional Bled cake, a relaxed setting for the kind of conversations that don’t happen in a meeting room.
Looking forward
Grow2Gether was about keeping our community together and building a stronger business relationship for the years ahead. We’re grateful to every partner who traveled to Ljubljana and shared their time and ideas. We are already looking forward to our next gathering!
