ConnectWise IT Nation: What Happens In Orlando…

  • Written by The VAR Guy 1
  • October 29, 2010
Plenty of education -- and numerous parties -- await more than 1,100 MSPs and VARs that are set to attend ConnectWise IT Nation (Nov. 4-6, Orlando). When they're not busy learning about managed services, recurring revenue strategies, business management and cloud computing opportunities, the IT Nation attendees will unplug at the following bashes. Take a look.

Plenty of education — and numerous parties — await more than 1,100 MSPs and VARs that are set to attend ConnectWise IT Nation (Nov. 4-6, Orlando). When they’re not busy learning about managed services, recurring revenue strategies, business management and cloud computing opportunities, the IT Nation attendees will unplug at the following bashes. Take a look.

First, a little background: Most of The VAR Guy’s readers know about Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC), Cisco Partner Summit and other vendor-led channel partner conferences. Most major channel events cover topics like product margins and certifications, but MSP-centric conferences like ConnectWise IT Nation (formerly ConnectWise Partner Summit) show IT service providers how to run their businesses better. And in the managed services market, partners (VARs and MSPs) are actually the host company’s customers.

Oh, and The VAR Guy almost forgot to mention: MSP conferences are filled with parties. Lots of them.

Looking for an Invite: The VAR Guy is still trying to sort through the IT Nation evening schedule. But it’s safe to expect the following…

Friday, November 5: The Club ConnectWise evening includes at least three parties:

  • gloStream Urgent Care Party
  • Quosal Jazz Lounge
  • Catch the MSP Wave SonicWall Beach Party

Saturday, November 6: The Off the Grid party. No tweeting, photos or online reports allowed. Hmmm… this could get interesting.

Suite Idea

Also worth noting, The VAR Guy hears a range of vendors will also host hospitality suites throughout the conference. The hosts are expected to include:

  • Axcient
  • Asigra
  • Level Platforms
  • NetEnrich
  • PacketTrap
  • TruMethods
  • LabTech Software

Meanwhile, The VAR Guy is recharging from recent trips to N-able Partner Summit, Avnet-IBM Partner Summit and SMB Nation. But our resident blogger expects to be fully energized for the ConnectWise IT Nation conference. Oh, and he may actually do some work at the event as well.

    Are the rumors true about airport style metal detectors ensuring that the Off The Grid party stays true to it’s name?

    VG,

    It should be a fantastic event, and knowing Jeannine and company, memorable as well!

    So if we are seeking out the VAR Guy, should we be looking for the guy in a dark suit and Fedora hat, nervously fidgeting with his drink at the Off-The-Grid party?

    Enjoy,
    Gerard

    Bummed we aren’t gonna be there (Our event starts Nov 7 in Vegas) but hope it’s as awesome as I expect it to be!

    TVG,

    The rumor is true. Axcient is hosting “Axcient After Dark”, an invite only VIP party on Friday, Nov. 5th from 9:30pm-12:00am. Our existing partners already have their passes and our team will be giving out passes to a select number of people at the show. Should be a fun time with music, dancers, and drinks aplenty!

    We are also the sponsor for the “Off the Grid” party on Saturday night.

    Justin

    Forgot to say props to Jeannine and her team for putting on a much anticipated event. Our partners are very much looking forward to it and my team has had great things to say.

    Chris [email protected]: Tell The VAR Guy’s readers more. What is “your” event. The VAR Guy knows… but some readers don’t.
