First time and Experienced Speakers:

Are you a first-time speaker, perusing our page but unsure about giving a session? Just reach out to the conference team by email and we'll try to pair you up with a past speaker if you like help designing your session! We'll also be hosting a Speaker KBUG for those speakers who are selected to go over any questions and logistics.

Please keep in mind that this conference is for the Managed Services industry (MSP/MSSP/TSP), and while speakers are not required to come from the industry, a background or familiarity with the industry is preferred. Most attendees will be technicians focused on service delivery, rather than managers or executives.

While the last 15 minutes isn't required to be for questions, there will also be some networking time on the agenda to be able to continue ongoing conversations.

Previous Sessions:

If your session is a resubmission from another conference, submitting your presentation in advance is preferred but not required.
