CompTIA presents Vanessa Sorenson, MJ Shoer, Wayne Selk, a Maria, a David, Two Warwick’s, and did I mention Brett Roberts?

Will you be joining us?

On Monday the 16th September I will be presenting at the only New Zealand event for 2024 by the Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA). Many of you know that for the past 4 years I have volunteered on the ANZ Executive Council of CompTIA, representing the New Zealand IT industry, along with many experienced colleagues from the Australian IT industry.

The CompTIA Community is the leading global, vendor-neutral technology channel association for MSPs and other technology companies. Membership in the CompTIA Community gives you more opportunities to build a trusted community of peers, access exclusive tools and resources needed to build a thriving business and contribute to the growth of the channel.

The connection to CompTIA—the most respected place to help launch and succeed in a tech career—provides even greater benefits, including discounts on valuable CompTIA certifications and other programs to build your workforce. Plus, when your company joins, every single employee can access membership benefits. You can read more about the work we do here:

Our keynote for the morning will be from Brett Roberts, my colleague, friend and long-standing contributor to the IT Industry challenging us to consider the questions Will AI deliver business value? No, really? Expect the usual humorous but serious look at the current state of play questioning if you are making money from AI yet?

With have great sessions on Risk Management for MSP’s by Wayne Selk , VP for CompTIA Cybersecurity programs, A State of the Channel address with ANZ Perspectives by Maria Armstrong, A State of Cybersecurity review by David Norris, How to grow and sell an MSP Business by Warwick Eade, something ?that will resonate with all NZ MSPs as they face the tough times the industry is dealing with at the moment and I will be talking with the recipient of the 2023 CompTIA – Accelerating Aotearoa, doing great things to develop tech skills in the Otara community.
