This research session presents key findings from a survey conducted by IDPE in the United States, capturing the perspectives of German partners on artificial intelligence investment. The study investigates strategic priorities, innovation drivers, and partnership dynamics within the evolving AI landscape. By analysing German stakeholders' views, the session highlights transnational trends and considerations shaping AI development and collaboration on a global scale
MSPs, VARs and resellers across the DACH region are under increasing pressure to deliver more value with fewer resources — while meeting rising customer expectations around security, compliance, and service quality.
In this session, ConnectWise shares how leading partners are standardising operations, improving visibility across their business, and building scalable, profitable service models in a highly regulated and competitive market. The discussion will focus on practical ways to simplify service delivery, strengthen operational maturity, and create predictable, recurring revenue — without adding unnecessary complexity.
Designed for MSP and channel leaders, this session explores how the right operational foundations enable partners to grow with confidence, improve margins, and position themselves as trusted, long‑term advisors to their customers.
One-on-one and small group meetings with top vendors and industry leaders, providing valuable partnership and business opportunities.
A chance to connect with peers, industry experts, and vendors over coffee and refreshments.
Discover how this solution helps MSPs optimize service delivery, improve customer retention, and achieve scalable, recurring profitability.
A peer‑led conversation focused on efficiency, customer retention, and scalable revenue growth for industry leaders.
A chance to relax, enjoy a meal, and network with peers in an informal setting.
2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the channel — with shifting customer expectations, increased regulatory pressure, tighter margins and rapid technology change all converging at once. In this panel discussion, senior channel leaders come together to share their perspectives on one of the defining topics in IT for 2026 — exploring what’s changing, what’s overhyped, and where MSPs, VARs and resellers should be focusing their time, investment and strategy.
Expect an honest, peer‑level conversation covering real‑world challenges, commercial implications and practical decision‑making, rather than theory or vendor noise.
This session is designed to help channel leaders sense‑check their priorities, learn from others navigating similar pressures, and leave with clearer direction for the year ahead.
Another opportunity to build connections and discuss potential collaborations.
German and EU regulations are accelerating — from NIS2 to data sovereignty and operational resilience requirements — and customers are looking for trusted partners, not just technology.
In this session, we’ll explore how MSPs, VARs and resellers can move beyond viewing compliance as a cost or risk, and instead package it as a profitable, recurring service. Learn how leading partners are operationalising compliance, embedding it into managed services, and positioning themselves as strategic advisors to win higher‑value customers and longer‑term contracts.
A surprise guest from outside the IT industry shares powerful insights on leadership, resilience and navigating change — leaving channel leaders inspired and energised for what’s next.
A brief summary of key takeaways and final thoughts to conclude the event.
