EP096 – From 80s Flashbacks to Modern MSP Hacks. What is the MSP Show and why you need to be there.

In this episode, hosts Adam and Daniel are joined by David and Alex to discuss the origins and rapid growth of the MSP Show, an event dedicated to managed service providers (MSPs) set to take place at the London Excel on May 14th and 15th. The conversation covers the transition from the long-established SITS IT support show to the specialised MSP show, noting how it has expanded its focus to include content on sales, marketing, finance, mergers and acquisitions, and more. They highlight the importance of in-person networking, the extensive list of exhibitors, and the diverse sessions expected to attract over 70 vendors and more than 4,000 attendees. Additionally, the speakers introduce new features for the 2025 event, such as a nostalgic 'Wonder Years' area, dual-branded keynote theatres, specialised meeting hubs, and dedicated networking drinks. Emphasising the role of face-to-face events in fostering community and business growth, David and Alex encourage MSP owners and leaders to attend and fully engage with the range of learning and networking opportunities available.    00:00 Welcome and Introductions  00:44 Origins of the MSP Show  03:37 Evolution and Growth of the MSP Show  06:20 Exciting Features and Networking Opportunities  08:17 Tips for Maximizing Your Experience  14:17 The Importance of Community and Face-to-Face Events  21:21 Final Thoughts and Event Details    More information and to book for the MSP Show at https://eventdata.uk/VisitorMSP/SITS2025.aspx?TrackingCode=MSP114    Connect with Alex Harris on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-harris-548843165/     Connect with David Maguire on LinkedIn by clicking here –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-maguire-85a81120/    Connect with Daniel Welling on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-welling-54659715/    Connect with Adam Morris on LinkedIn by clicking here – linkedin.com/in/adamcmorris    Visit The MSP Finance Team website, simply click here – https://www.mspfinanceteam.com/      We look forward to catching up with you on the next one.
