2023 saw a return to normalcy for IT events post-pandemic, and MSP events were no different. MSP conferences can be a great way to network, keep up with the latest in the industry, and maybe even get that next game-changing idea to grow your business. And, most importantly, get plenty of sweet vendor swag! (FYI, we have the best mugs and bucket hats).
Of course, attending a conference is a big investment, even before the cost of travel and lodging. To make it worthwhile, the trick is finding the right MSP conference for your MSP business.
Frankly, understanding how to get the most out of an MSP conference is more of an art than a science. Just like no two MSPs are the same, no two conferences are the same. The best MSP conferences for one provider might be boring MSP events for another. Attending the conferences that are most likely to align with your interests and avoiding the ones that aren’t are important parts of spending your time wisely.
To help you get it right, this article will break down the top 20+ MSP conferences of 2024.
💡Pro tips: Looking for corporate IT events? We’ve got a separate list of the top general IT conferences.
