Some conferences give you a badge, a beige meeting room, and (let’s be honest!) the creeping realization that you should have stayed home and watched paint dry. MSP GLOBAL 2026 is not one of those conferences.
This October, MSP GLOBAL returns to PortAventura, just outside Barcelona, bringing together the managed services ecosystem from Europe, Latin America, Asia, North America, and everywhere else people are currently trying to keep clients secure, profitable, and only mildly on fire. It is also Europe’s only true international MSP event, which makes it especially valuable for MSPs working across regions, or looking to. For two days, the whole ecosystem—MSPs, MSSPs, resellers, systems integrators, enterprise IT leaders, cybersecurity specialists, vendors, and partners—will meet where the real work gets done: in sessions, in the exhibition hall, in masterclasses, over coffee, and, of course, on rollercoasters.
Here’s a few random reasons why you should be there…
Reason one
The community is genuinely global. You do not grow by listening only to people who share your market, your assumptions, or your preferred brand of dashboard. At MSP GLOBAL, you meet the people solving the same problems in completely different conditions. That mixture is where better ideas come from. And because this is the only real international MSP event in Europe, those conversations are not just broader; they are more useful for anyone building partnerships, serving customers, or expanding between markets. With networking built into all aspects of the day-and-night agenda, meeting new people will not be a problem.
Reason two
The speakers understand that “future-proofing” is not a strategy. Jake Moore is digging into deepfake job interviews and AI-powered deception, because apparently cybercriminals are now updating their CVs. Ralph Echemendia brings the attacker’s view of MSPs, remote management tools, and trust as an attack surface. Dr. Stefanie Frey explains why MSPs have now become strategic targets. Allan Friedman takes software supply chain security and SBOMs out of policy-land and into the daily reality of service providers. Jen Ellis, Dr. Mary Aiken, Mit Patel, and other leaders add sharp perspectives across a wide array of fields such as cybersecurity, operations, growth, psychology, and business resilience.
Reason three
This is not just content—ugh, that word—it’s momentum. You will leave with new partnerships, practical ideas, uncomfortable questions, useful answers, and probably at least one conversation that changes your roadmap… and maybe even your life. And because MSP GLOBAL is built more like a festival than a conference, the momentum does not stop when the slides do. It carries on into the concerts—Lords of Uptown, hello!, the garden parties, the poolside madness, the rollercoasters, the Server Throwing (yes, that is our thing!), and all the shared extravaganza that make people remember who they met, not just what they heard. The sky’s the limit!
So yes, you could read another trend report alone at your desk. Bold choice! Or you could join the MSP community where it is actually happening.
