MAKING YOUR MSP FIT FOR THE 2020s

Monday 14 September | The Principal Hotel, Manchester



MSP Transform Manchester | Monday 14 September

With the managed services space fast-commoditising, how to add value and differentiate in an increasingly crowded market is the question that keeps MSP bosses awake at night.

Bringing together experts from the fields of marketing, private equity and the MSP community itself, this year's MSP Transform Manchester will look at how business owners can best go about future-proofing their MSP business.

How to build a successful MSP or MSSP business that is trusted by customers, respected by peers and suppliers, boasts high levels of recurring revenue, is skilled at attracting new logos in a post-GDPR environment, and is valued by potential investors, will be among the key topics of the day.

This event is working towards the International Standard ISO 20121 and follows guidance set out by the Sustainable Event Alliance (SEA)
