We started with a keynote from Microsoft discussing Windows 7, from that we broke out into three general group discussions. These discussions really got the attendees involved and gave them a voice at the conference. Day two we had three tracks: technical (vendor presentations), advanced, and sales & marketing. The sales & marketing track was by far the most popular track with standing room only in most sessions. The attendees had the benefit of hearing how industry leaders such as Don Begg, Mike Cooch, Mark Scott and Dan Wilson are growing their managed services businesses. For full disclosure I am on the MSP Alliance Board of Advisors so my opinion may be a bit biased. That being said my only incentive for this post is to let those in our community that could not attend know that they should try and make the next event.
