Managed Services Live III: The challenge of changePlanning to succeed in the “(not so new) normal”

live.mshsummit.com

As we look forward to vaccines being rolled out for COVID19 and hopefully of a return to physical events in the 2nd half of 2021, we are now confident our first event in Amsterdam will take place in July 2021.

We are delighted to announce the 3rd Managed Service Summit live virtual event will take place on the 20 - 21 April 2021. This is not a replacement for the live events (we believe live face to face interaction, learning and networking can never be fully replaced digitally), our virtual events are designed to be complementary to it - to bring the industry together virtually and on-line to help deal with the unprecedented challenges we all currently face. With a mix of virtual, physical and hybrid events planned, we have developed the portfolio to keep MSPs, VARs and System Integrators informed, connected and inspired.

The 3rd virtual summit will utilise the ‘connect’ event platform, integrating presentations, digital sponsors booths and networking tools into one portal – allowing for live text and video chat between delegates, speakers and sponsors.

Planning to succeed in the “(not so new) normal”

The event will take the form of four 2-hour interactive sessions over 2 days.

Each session will focus on a key issue msps currently face and will be based around a keynote presentation from an independent authority, along with further 10-minute interactive presentations and interviews with industry experts. They will also feature a moderated panel discussion responding to issues raised by the audience.

Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions and help frame discussions before, during and after the event and will also be provided with access to presentation content and supporting materials after it.

The Challenge of Change - Planning to succeed in the ‘(not so new) normal’

The running of a successful MSP in 2021 will require more direction and insights than previously. The various parts of the business may all be moving at different paces – a focus on efficiency will need to target specific roles and aspects of the business. Competition for customers and resources will be increased and the vertical markets being served will have new demands. This online event aims to bring MSPs up-to-date with the markets, platforms, additional services and approaches, based on the real experience of those MSPs who are proving successful.

We aim to use the genuine voice of the MSP to highlight changes as they take place, explore proven best practice and tools, and ideas for marketing and sales that support the new and changed models.

The LIVE III contentManaged Services LIVE III will be focussed around 4 conference sessions over 2 days featuring presentations by leading industry speakers, interviews with business leaders and a number of lively panel discussions. The event will explore both technical and sales/business issues and provided networking opportunities for delegates to meet with potential business partners.

Managed Services LIVE III is an executive-level event which will explore the latest trends and developments in managed services, evolving customer requirements and how to create value from providing managed services – both for your own organization and your customers.

Themes, Topics and TrendsManaged Services LIVE III will address the key trends and issues impacting on the managed services sector.
