ConnectWise IT Nation events aren't just another industry conference; they’re where groundbreaking ideas meet real-world solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Whether you're a seasoned IT professional or just starting your business, IT Nation events are your chance to expand your network, enhance your expertise, and take your managed service business to the next level.
This guide will show you how to maximize every minute of your IT Nation experience—from effective networking to leveraging the resources you’ll discover at every event and beyond.
Attending ConnectWise IT Nation events is more than just a checkbox on your industry calendar. Here's why you should prioritize them:
Rub shoulders with industry veterans, tech innovators, and like-minded peers who can offer fresh perspectives and best practices.
Access top-tier workshops and sessions that deliver actionable strategies tailored to the challenges of MSPs.
Get the inside scoop on emerging technology trends and tools that could redefine your business.
It’s more than an event; it’s a movement. Joining IT Nation means becoming part of a global community dedicated to IT success.
Walking into a room filled with professionals can feel overwhelming. Here’s how to make meaningful connections at IT Nation events.
Most IT Nation events have an official app to help you plan your schedule, manage session bookings, and connect with attendees. Use it to send introductory messages before the event even begins.
Instead of trying to meet everyone, focus on having deeper conversations with a smaller number of people. Follow up after the event to continue the dialogue.
Breakfast meetups, happy hours, and vendor exhibits are goldmines for initiating conversations. Don’t shy away; put yourself out there and listen actively.
IT Nation’s workshops and seminars offer strategies and skills that could reshape your MSP business. Here’s how to get the most out of them.
With so many sessions, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Prioritize the ones that align with your current goals, such as sales optimization, operational efficiency, or team management.
Don't just be a passive attendee. Ask questions, engage in discussions, and talk to the speakers during breaks. This interaction helps cement what you’ve learned.
The real value of IT Nation lies in applying its lessons. Dedicate time post-event to review your notes and identify action items for your team. Tools like ConnectWise solutions or consultants can help implement these changes seamlessly.
Now that you've learned and networked, it’s time to fine-tune and scale your business. This is where expert support can accelerate your goals.
