The 2016 list of IT Channel Events for MSPs

Each year I produce a list of IT Channel events that will be of interest to IT Solution Providers and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) based in the UK and Europe.

All dates are subject to change and I’d strongly encourage you to contact the event organisers directly before making any travel plans based on information listed here.

Notes

For readers in the USA and Canada, my good friend Karl Palachuk has a great MSP events listing in Karl’s Weekly Email Newsletter.
I also publish a monthly list of UK User Group events and free training webinars that are of interest to MSP’s. To receive a regularly updated list by email,  sign up for my MSP newsletter .
I frequently attend IT Channel Events myself. You can take a look at the events I’m attending as well as events I’m speaking at. If you’d like to engage me to present at, or report from your event, please feel free to contact me to discuss my availability.

Updates and Amendments

I try to keep this list regularly updated, so if you have an event then please feel free to contact me and let me know about it.
