LabTech Software's Automation Nation 2014 took place in Orlando this week, and MSPmentor Associate Editor and Blogger Dan Kobialka introduced himself to the managed service provider (MSP) community through the art of the "selfie."

Anxious. Excited. A little bit nauseous. These are just some of the feelings I had before LabTech Software's Automation Nation 2014 this week in Orlando. That's because this was the first conference I was attending as MSPmentor's newest blogger.

Automation Nation is considered one of the "premier conference"s for managed service providers (MSPs). It certainly is for those who use LabTech Software's RMM platform. And hundreds (or thousands, or maybe millions) of MSPs and MSP employees attend the event annually.

Keynote speakers included LabTech Software CEO Matt Nachtrab and former Google (GOOG) Chief Information Officer Douglas Merrill.

Automation Nation initially seemed intimidating, especially since it was my first live event with MSPmentor.

I knew I wanted to make the most of my Automation Nation experience and formally introduce myself to the MSP community – but how?

Selfies, of course!

Here are 10 MSP selfies featuring some of the biggest names at Automation Nation.

(And, of course, if you see me at future MSP events, feel free to introduce yourself and pose for a selfie too!)
