The 2019 List of Awesome Events for MSPs

Each year I produce a list of events for MSPs. I’ve attended many of these events myself, and they are indeed awesome!

These events are all conferences and meetings that will be of interest to IT Solution Providers and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) based in the UK and Europe.

All dates are subject to change and I’d strongly encourage you to contact the event organisers directly before making any travel plans based on the information listed here.

Notes

• For readers in the USA and Canada, my good friend Karl Palachuk has a great MSP event listing in Karl’s Weekly Email Newsletter.
• The lovely folks at Third Tier also have a great guide to the best free and low-fee conferences for US-based MSPs.
• I also publish a monthly list of a list of User Groups for UK Managed Service Providers that are of interest to MSP’s. Do go check it out!
• To receive a regularly updated list of events by email, sign up for my MSP newsletter.
• You can take a look at the events I’m attending as well as events I’m speaking at. If you’d like to engage me to present at or report from your own event, please feel free to contact me to discuss my availability.

Updates and Amendments

I try to keep this list regularly updated, so if you have an event then please feel free to contact me and let me know about it.
