The event

A new event, built for the MSP channel

MSP Expo Ireland is a new one-day event from Renaissance, built for MSP owners, directors and senior professionals across Ireland and Northern Ireland. It sits alongside Cyber Expo and Conference Ireland, our flagship now in its ninth year, and brings the same standard of programme to the managed services channel.

The day pairs a working exhibition floor with five panel sessions about running and growing an MSP. The conversations follow the shape of the business itself, from the state of the market through recurring revenue and the technology stack to mergers, acquisitions and the exit.

It's free for MSPs to attend, funded by our vendor partners. Attendance is by registration, so the sessions stay focused and your time at the stands is well spent.

Cyber Expo and Conference Ireland ecosystem: vendors, value added resellers, security experts and end users
The agenda

One day, the arc of an MSP

Five 30-minute panels, moderated conversations rather than presentations. The programme runs the length of a business, from where you are now to where you might end up.

The market

The State of the Irish MSP Market

Where the market sits right now: consolidation, pricing pressure, and how client expectations have shifted over the past year.

Moderated by Michael Conway
11:00
The money

The Financial Model Behind Growth

The numbers underneath a well-run MSP, and the metrics buyers and lenders actually examine as the business grows.

Moderated by David Keating
12:00
The model

Building Recurring Revenue

Moving off project income towards contracted monthly revenue, and how to price it without giving margin away.

Moderated by Norman Newell
12:30
Lunch on the exhibition floor
13:30
The stack

Choosing and Consolidating Your Stack

Cutting vendor sprawl, where consolidation genuinely helps, and how to judge whether a technology is worth a managed service.

Moderated by David Keating
14:30
The exit

Mergers, Acquisitions and the MSP Exit

What buyers look for, how MSPs are valued, and why the groundwork for a sale starts years before anyone opens a conversation.

Draft programme. Session line-ups and speakers confirmed closer to the day.

How the day works

Two floors, both live all day

Ground floor

The exhibition

  • Meet the people behind the leading MSP and security solutions
  • Network over breakfast, lunch and refreshments
  • Explore solutions and find the right fit for your MSP
  • Take your time between sessions
Mezzanine

The conference

  • Five panels of 30 minutes across the day
  • Moderated conversations, not a run of slide decks
  • Ideas you can take back to your own business
  • Questions from the floor, so the sessions stay a conversation
Vendor partners

The brands on the floor

A group of vendor partners exhibit on the day, with several taking a seat on the panels.

Line-up in progress

Exhibiting vendor partners to be confirmed shortly

On 4th November, the Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA) is launching its Dublin Chapter at Medley, running from 3:30pm to 6pm directly after MSP Expo Ireland. Renaissance is proud to support the inaugural launch of this new chapter for the IT channel community on the island of Ireland.

This is your opportunity to meet the community leadership, explore the interest groups, and connect with fellow channel professionals. The event is free to attend and takes place at the same venue as MSP Expo Ireland, so if you are attending MEXI you can simply stay on.

This event is free and open to MSP Expo Ireland attendees who would like to stay on after the main programme. Existing GTIA members from across the island of Ireland. Renaissance vendor partners across the channel community. MSPs new to GTIA who are interested in learning more about membership and getting involved.
