Session Topics:
9:00am Opening Keynote (Adam Kreek)
Resilience isn’t about bouncing back—it’s about learning while moving forward. In this session, Olympic Gold Medalist and executive coach Adam Kreek unpacks how high-performing teams win through incremental progress and better leadership, not heroic bursts. You’ll walk away with practical takeaways from Lean, Agile, and Kanban frameworks to build a team that can weather any storm—and row through it.
COFFEE BREAK
From Firefighter to Leader: The MSP Manager's Playbook (Todd Kane)
Endless firefighting, frustrated teams, and burnout! Running an MSP means juggling constant emergencies while trying to build a sustainable business. Without proven leadership systems, even the most capable managers and owners find themselves stuck in reactive mode.
This session provides a systematic approach for MSP leaders to use to transform chaos into control. Walk away with a complete framework that frees up your time while improving results.
Before & After: True Stories of MSP Transformation With Agile Thinking (Wim Kerkhoff)
We'll dig into behind-the-scenes transformation stories of real teams who’ve embraced Agile and Kanban to improve visibility, focus, and execution. We’ll look at:
-
What life was like before the change (late projects, overload, siloed work, burnout, low profit)
-
What specific habits and workflows they changed
- The results they’re seeing today
This isn’t a pitch or a tool tour. It’s a look at what’s actually working, so you can steal ideas to improve how your team works!
Enhancing Your Product Offering: Finding New Revenue Streams to Set Your MSP Apart (Marco La Vecchia)
In this session, Marco La Vecchia, former CRO at Fully Managed and VP at N-able and AVG, shares real-world strategies for how MSPs can evolve beyond traditional services to unlock new recurring revenue.
Learn a proven framework to identify untapped client needs, and differentiate your offering in a crowded market. Whether you're looking to grow margin, increase stickiness, or launch your next big service, this talk gives you the tools and stories to take action now.
Maximizing Microsoft Teams Efficiency: How AI-Enhanced UCaaS and CCaaS Integration Transforms User Experience (Reo Harb)
Key outcomes include improved first-contact resolution rates, enhanced team collaboration, intelligent meeting support, and automated workflows that allow businesses to focus on growth rather than managing disparate communication tools.
12:00pm LUNCH
The MSP Marketing Playbook (Devin Rose)
Looking to attract more leads without wasting money on marketing that doesn’t work? Learn the exact strategies successful MSPs use to build a strong web presence and generate qualified inbound leads. This session will give you a practical, step-by-step guide to transform your marketing.
Thinking About Risk Differently (Alex Dow)
Cyber risk is not a battle to be “won”; rather a constant headwind we must navigate well. The very biological instincts that once guided our survival now mislead us. We downplay distant threats, are over-trusting of shiny fixes, and cling to linear predictions in a nonlinear world.
This session reframes the game: a strategic 101 on risk, exploring the limits of ourselves and prevention, and why pragmatic resilience, not elusive perfection, separates the wheat from the chaff.
You will walk away from this session with a better understanding of (cyber) risk and a blueprint for what you can do, to build a more resilient business for yourself, your clients and our collective futures.
Leveraging AI to grow your MSP revenue (Jermaine Clark)
Picture this: a world where artificial intelligence doesn't just enhance your operational efficiency but completely transforms the way you lead and grow your Managed Services Provider business.
We'll dive into the game-changing potential of AI and Microsoft Copilot technologies, exploring how they can be harnessed to drive innovation, streamline processes, and elevate your leadership strategies.
Join me as we unlock the future of MSP business leadership, where cutting-edge technology meets visionary management. Get ready to be inspired and walk away with actionable insights that will propel your business to new heights!
COFFEE BREAK
Cybersecurity, patterns and reading the tea leaves for success (Matt Lee)
Learn what is going on with cybersecurity, by using historical patterns to decode the future.
Panel Discussion (Dustin Cassar)
This panel brings back speakers and industry leaders for an honest look at what’s shaping the future of our industry, and how operational issues impact profitability and valuation.
-
Preparing for M&A and integration
-
Navigating hiring, automation, and workforce shifts
-
Adjusting to vendor pricing and margin pressures

Code of Conduct:
The Agile MSP Summit is built on curiosity, humility, and shared growth. We’re gathering to learn from one another, challenge assumptions, and make meaningful connections that help us lead and deliver better.
To keep this a high-value, high-trust space for everyone, we ask all attendees to uphold the following:
-
Be present and participate thoughtfully. Engage fully in sessions and conversations. Ask questions, share your perspective, and help others do the same.
-
Foster respectful, constructive dialogue. Disagree with ideas, not people. Speak with curiosity, not certainty. Be aware of how you show up.
-
No selling outside of sponsorship. If you represent a product or service, please connect through official sponsor channels. Let your insights and expertise speak louder than your business card.
-
This is not a recruiting event. Please don’t solicit or inquire about job opportunities, roles, or hiring needs.
-
Include others. Look for opportunities to invite someone into a conversation, especially new or quieter attendees. We’re stronger together.
If you experience or witness behavior that doesn’t align with these values, please speak directly with someone on the organization or hosting team.
Let’s make this a summit that reflects the best of the MSP community.
