MSP Summit 2026, co-located with Channel Partners Events (CP Expo) at the Venetian in Las Vegas, was a fantastic event.
First and foremost—huge credit to the MSP Summit team and Informa for delivering a truly well-run, high-quality event. From the content mix to the hallway conversations, it was clear how intentional this year’s program was.
A special shout-out to the MSP Summit Advisory Board for the work they did partnering with the Informa team to shape the agenda. That collaboration showed up in the thoughtfulness of the sessions and the relevance of the conversations taking place across the event.
Robert DeMarzo did a terrific job hosting as always—keeping things moving, engaging the audience, doing great interviews, and creating real continuity across sessions. While Kelly Danziger, Bob’s usual co-host and a driving force behind MSP Summit and CP Expo, couldn’t be there in person, she was absolutely present in spirit. And for good reason—congratulations to Kelly, her daughter, and family on the arrival of their new baby girl! Wishing them all the very best.
Time With Clients and Partners
It was also great spending time with two of my clients and sponsors at the event. I had the opportunity to work with Mike Schwartz and Michael Lonsinger at the Goodweek booth, and Jayesh Kasim, Steve Earley, Nathan Morris, and Mark Werder from Valenta, while also enjoying awesome dinners with our partners at the end of the day.
I want to thank several MSP friends who came by to meet both teams. Their booths saw a lot of attendee traffic and even better conversations. It was a great example of how these events create real connection between MSPs and the vendors building solutions specifically for them.
Practical, Candid Content
Beyond my own AI & Automation workshop and panel (which I’ve already shared about), I really appreciated the time, preparation, and energy that so many speakers put into delivering meaningful content. The sessions were practical, candid, and clearly designed by and for MSPs—always the bar I hope events like this strive to clear.
Events like this are always a reminder that while the technology keeps changing, the strength of this great community is still the relationships.
Looking Ahead
I’m excited to continue the AI and automation conversation and build on the momentum we created. I’m already looking forward to MSP Summit in Orlando, including a follow-up AI & Automation workshop that goes even deeper into execution, monetization, and scale.
Thanks again to everyone who made the week such a great experience. Onward!
