Editor's Note

In the room to talk insurance, liability, and cyber incidents at our MSP Index event today from 3pm at The Langham, Southbank, Melbourne, will be Andrew Bremner from SherpaTech

Andrew sits in the middle of IT insurance conversations will join me to share an update and advice as MSPs and others grapple with AI going rogue and other risks.

We'll squeeze that in with a panel discussion about SMB-size MSP profitability, featuring PricingProphets' Jon Manning and 3rdmill's Natalia Scheidegger, a discussion about MSP differentiation featuring IBRS Senior Advisor David Beal and Kris Manché from DIY-ERP, hear from NinjaOne's Michael Robotham about moving from patching to "risk ownership", Optimizer365's Nandan Thakar about their CloudOps value prop, plus networking.

Also in the room will be MSPs and other sponsors, including HaloPSA, ManageEngine Australia and New Zealand, N-able, and Seagate Technology.

Doors open 3pm. Registrations are required to attend.
