The fifth-annual MSPmentor 250 list (honoring the world’s top managed services experts, entrepreneurs and executives) will begin to roll out this Friday, Aug. 31. This year’s list is dramatically different than previous editions. Some of the industry’s biggest names are missing from the list… gone forever. You might even say those industry luminaries are “Locked in the NOC.” Plus: The 250 people on this year’s list represent 250 different companies. That’s right: Only one person per company qualified for the final honor. Care to learn more?

We’ll give you those industry luminary details on Friday. Then, stay tuned for roughly 60 honorees per day (Sept.  4 through Sept. 7). Again, we’ll share scores of new names (from across the globe) for your Rolodex. Want to promote your MSPmentor 250 honor? We’ll post complete media details in our media center on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Thanks to all of those who participated in this year’s survey.
