Cyber Pre Day

Alex Tilley, Okta and Aaron Bugal, Sophos

This hands-on workshop is designed for MSPs who are doing more with less. The central theme is using AI to punch above your weight, turning a small team of two into the effective output of twenty when it comes to vulnerability management and beyond.

Alex and Aaron will dig into Project Glasswing, Anthropic's landmark initiative using their Claude Mythos Preview model to autonomously identify and patch zero-day vulnerabilities across the world's most critical software.

That brings us to the citizen developer problem, technical people with the power to develop faster than ever before. Aaron will walk through a practical framework for navigating this new reality.

Paul Byrne will be back to unpack the implications for cyber insurance as the risk landscape continues to shift and expectations around continual compliance only grow.

Bring your hard questions and real world problems to the open forum, where no question is too basic and no problem too niche. The session is designed to get practical and actionable. Keep an eye on the community forums where we will be posting ahead of the workshop to gather questions and topics, so we can make sure we have the right people in the room.

Sales/Marketing Pre-Day

From Referrals to Revenue Engine: Building Predictable Growth for MSPs
By Aaron Smith and Kayla Ellice

Most MSPs and IT services businesses rely heavily on referrals, existing relationships and vendor-generated opportunities. While these channels can fuel growth initially, they often create inconsistent results and make it difficult to scale.

This interactive pre-day workshop is designed to help MSP and technology business leaders build a more predictable and sustainable approach to growth by aligning sales and marketing into a single revenue-generating system.

Throughout the day, Aaron and Kayla will combine sales, marketing and business growth strategies to explore how successful IT businesses move from reactive lead generation to a structured demand generation engine that delivers long-term results.

Key topics include:

Moving from referral-dependent growth to a predictable revenue engine
Understanding why lead and demand generation is a long-term investment, not a short-term campaign
Building a structured sales process, including qualification, discovery and conversion
Understanding how buying decisions are made and how to position your business before prospects enter the market
Creating a repeatable nurture and demand generation framework that builds trust over time
Aligning sales and marketing so opportunities don’t fall through the cracks
The key commercial metrics MSP owners should be tracking beyond leads and website traffic
Knowing when to hire sales and marketing resources, and what business maturity should exist first
Adapting your sales and marketing strategy to changing buyer behaviour and the rise of AI-driven research

Attendees will leave with practical frameworks, workshop exercises and a 90-day action plan they can implement immediately within their business.

This is not a theoretical marketing session. It is a hands-on workshop designed specifically for MSPs and IT services businesses looking to build a scalable growth engine and create sustainable long-term revenue growth.
