The event
One focused day for serious MSPs
MSPWorld® Connect brings together MSP owners and leaders who are done coasting — operators determined to evolve their business and reach the pinnacle of managed services maturity. No fluff, no tire-kickers: just a room of peers, sharp education, and the relationships that move a practice forward.
Day in Chicago
A single, high-density day at the Marriott Chicago O'Hare.
Peer-led topic areas
From AI to cyber insurance — the conversations that matter in 2026.
Free deliverables
Complimentary expert reviews to take home, courtesy of the co-hosts.
Why it matters
2026 is a structural reset for MSPs
The ground is shifting. The MSPs who thrive will be the ones who treat this moment as a chance to mature — operationally, commercially, and legally.
AI is now operational
Agentic tools are embedded in RMM, PSA, and service delivery — initiating actions and making decisions on your behalf.
Cyber insurance is tightening
Carriers are scrutinizing policy language and AI involvement. Coverage gaps surface exactly when a claim hits.
Compliance expectations rise
Regulators and clients demand provable standards, frameworks, and operational maturity — not promises.
Clients buy outcomes, not tickets
The market rewards risk reduced and revenue protected. Sales, contracts, and the tech stack all have to follow.
Who it's for
Built for MSPs ready to evolve
This is a room for operators, not spectators — leaders who want to benchmark against the best and leave with a plan.
Owners & professionals
Scaling a mature, profitable, and defensible managed services practice.
Service & operations leaders
Renovating the tech stack and tightening delivery without the bloat.
Growth & revenue leaders
Sharpening sales, marketing, and packaging to win serious clients.
On the agenda
Six conversations shaping mature MSPs
AI for MSPs
Move from hype to operational advantage and governed adoption.
Sales & Marketing
Positioning and go-to-market that win serious, sticky clients.
Tech Stack Renovation
Cut bloat, consolidate tools, and rebuild for scale and margin.
Compliance
Provable standards and frameworks clients and regulators expect.
Contracts & Legal
Master agreements that actually hold up when stakes are high.
Cyber Insurance
Coverage built for how MSPs really operate in an AI-driven world.

How it works
Peer-led and networking-first
Less lecture hall, more high-trust exchange. Every session is shaped by practitioners who have walked the path — and the breaks are built for the relationships that matter.
Peer-led education
Sessions led by operators sharing what actually works in the field.
Networking-first design
Breakfast, lunch, breaks, and a closing reception engineered for real connection.
Roundtables & action planning
Leave with a concrete plan, not just a notebook of ideas.
