EP145 – AI, Innovation and the Future of MSPs – with Dan Wensley

Previewing ChannelCon EMEA: AI, Community, and GTIA Initiatives Dan joins Daniel on a podcast to preview ChannelCon EMEA in London, building on recent ChannelCon North America success under the GTIA brand and its focus on the IT services channel. They discuss the event’s emphasis on timely, vendor-neutral education, peer-to-peer interaction, and post-session conversations, with AI as a major theme due to its impact on pricing, customer value perception, shadow IT, cybersecurity, and MSP service delivery. Dan highlights GTIA’s Managed Intelligence Alliance, regional European discussions, and efforts such as self-regulatory work and cybersecurity trust marks, along with year-round member resources including research, education (including CompTIA AI Essentials), portal assets, and expanding local chapters for more frequent networking. They note keynotes (Graham Norton and Daniel Priestley), industry panels, networking, international attendance, and encourage registration. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:25 ChannelCon NA Highlights 01:31 What to Expect in London 02:50 AI Themes and Impact 04:38 Managed Intelligence Alliance 06:18 Keynotes and Networking Fun 07:38 How to Get Value Fast 09:47 GTIA Member Benefits Year Round 11:30 Local Chapters Momentum 13:06 International Community in London 13:57 Final Call to Register Register for ChannelCon EMEA at using MSP Finance Team promo code "SPMSPFinance26" - https://web.cvent.com/event/bd1d848e-...
