MSP Expo 2027 Announces Call for Papers Focused on AI-Powered Profitability, Cybersecurity, and Operational Excellence

By MSPToday News

Shelton, CT — TMC today announced that the Call for Papers is now open for MSP Expo 2027, taking place February 9-11, 2027, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida as part of the ITEXPO #TECHSUPERSHOW.

Where MSPs Share What Actually Works – In An Independent Setting

For years, MSP Expo has been one of the managed services industry's most important educational and networking events, bringing together MSP owners, executives, technical leaders, channel partners, vendors, and industry experts focused on helping managed service providers build stronger, more profitable businesses.

Unlike vendor-centric conferences, MSP Expo provides an independent forum where attendees can evaluate competing solutions, learn from peers, and gain practical insights from real-world deployments and business experiences.

MSP attendees come seeking strategies they can implement immediately to improve profitability, strengthen security, streamline operations, increase recurring revenue, and create long-term business value.

AI Is Changing Everything. Profitable MSPs Will Adapt.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how MSPs deliver services, manage operations, secure client environments, automate workflows, and support customers. At the same time, AI introduces new challenges surrounding cybersecurity, compliance, governance, infrastructure readiness, and risk management.

MSP Expo 2027 will focus on helping service providers understand not only how to leverage AI, but how to build the operational, technical, and business foundations necessary to deploy it successfully.

"MSPs are uniquely positioned to help businesses navigate AI transformation, but success requires far more than simply deploying new tools," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "The most successful MSPs will be those that can combine AI innovation with strong cybersecurity practices, operational excellence, and sound business strategy. MSP Expo 2027 will showcase what is working today and what MSPs should be preparing for tomorrow."

Three Educational Tracks Designed for Modern MSPs

For 2027, MSP Expo will feature three dedicated conference tracks:

  • MSP Cybersecurity: Helping MSPs protect clients, reduce risk, improve compliance, and expand security-focused service offerings.
  • MSP Business: Focused on growth, profitability, client acquisition, operational efficiency, recurring revenue, valuation enhancement, and exit planning.
  • MSP Tech: Exploring the technologies, platforms, automation tools, AI solutions, cloud services, and infrastructure innovations helping MSPs deliver better outcomes for customers.

MSP Expo is seeking submissions focused on topics including:

  • AI for MSPs and Managed Services Automation
  • AI Readiness, Governance, and Risk Management
  • Cybersecurity and Managed Security Services
  • Compliance, Data Protection, and Cyber Resilience
  • Client Retention and Customer Experience
  • Cloud Services and Infrastructure Management
  • Operational Efficiency and Service Delivery Optimization
  • Sales, Marketing, and Business Development
  • Building Recurring Revenue Streams
  • MSP Financial Management and Profitability
  • Mergers, Acquisitions, and Increasing Company Valuation
  • Microsoft, Cloud Ecosystems, and Platform Strategies
  • Network Management, SASE, and SD-WAN
  • RMM, PSA, and Automation Technologies
  • Service Packaging and Monetization Strategies
  • Staffing, Talent Development, and Team Management
  • Emerging Technologies and Future Growth Opportunities

Preference will be given to sessions featuring:

  • Real-world MSP case studies
  • Peer-to-peer learning and operator insights
  • Customer success stories
  • Practical implementation strategies
  • Business outcomes and lessons learned
  • Educational panels featuring MSPs and industry practitioners

MSP attendees consistently rank sessions featuring fellow MSPs among the most valuable elements of the conference program. Organizations are encouraged to include MSP customers, partners, or operators as presenters and panelists whenever possible.

"MSP Expo has always focused on helping service providers build stronger businesses," added Tehrani. "Our attendees want practical guidance they can take home and apply immediately. Whether it's cybersecurity, AI, operations, sales, or profitability, the goal is the same: helping MSPs grow, compete, and succeed."

If your organization can help MSPs improve profitability, strengthen cybersecurity, leverage AI, or deliver better customer outcomes, we encourage you to submit your session proposal today.
