Executive Roundtables

Leveraging the network of CRN contacts throughout the Australian Channel, CRN hosts executive roundtable events in conjunction with sponsors, recruiting delegates to put you face-to-face with your target audience. These events take the form of breakfast or luncheon events and typically hosted at 5-star hotel locations in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

Want to meet some of the top managed service providers (MSPs) in Australia?

The MSP Index directory is a growing list of Australian MSPs  – it is part of a program analysing the MSP landscape (see “What is the MSP Index” below). 

We are launching the MSP Index directory with events in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.  

Each event will launch the directory at an afternoon networking session where MSPs will be invited to network with sponsors. Editor in Chief William Maher will deliver MSP related content in the form of keynotes and panel discussions on stage, unpacking the MSP channel landscape moving forward into 2025. 

For vendors and distributors looking to meet MSPs interested in strategic discussion and brand building, don't miss out on the MSP index event in your city.

 

What is the MSP Index? 

MSPs are a crucial part of Australia's IT industry, which is why, for the first time, we are building a program of activity focused on them – this program is called the MSP Index. 

The program includes: 

  • The MSP Index directory, which initially shows basic information about MSPs.  
  • Analysis of exclusive MSP Index data about the Australian MSP landscape. Our ambition is to make this analysis a barometer of the Australian MSP landscape and MSP maturity, offerings, partnerships, opportunities and challenges. We will present this analysis throughout the year, including at the Pipeline conference.  

We are collecting this data by asking MSPs that apply to be listed on the MSP Index to complete a survey. We expect the process of building the directory and data to be an ongoing, long-term project.
