I'm writing this in a hotel room in Newark after finishing up our most recent M&A MSP Roadshow in Newark. I have to say that I'm so impressed with the content the vendor and M&A community have brought to this event. I love seeing when MSPs are taking notes vigorously and taking screenshots; it means they are getting value and are engaged in the content—one more M&A event this year in Dallas on Dec. 11th.
