IMPACT brought together MSPs, cybersecurity professionals, and channel partners from across Europe for a packed agenda of keynotes, strategy sessions, and genuine peer-to-peer conversation. It is one of those events that leaves you returning to the office with a notebook full of ideas and a renewed sense of where the industry is heading. A Standout Event for the Channel Community This year’s IMPACT lived up to its reputation as one of the most valuable dates in the MSP calendar. The sessions were substantive and forward-looking, covering: The shifting cybersecurity threat landscape and what it means for managed service providers. Emerging attack vectors and practical defence strategies The evolving role of AI and automation in modern security stacks Business growth, partnership strategy, and the future direction of managed services What stood out was the quality of the discussions, not just from the stage, but in the corridors, over coffee, and across the dinner table. The kind of conversations that change how you think about your business. A Nomination We Are Genuinely Proud Of The standout moment for the Speedster IT team came when we were recognised during the awards ceremony. We were honoured to receive nominations in two categories: 🏆 MSP of the Year 🏆 Most Sales Generated from a Marketing Event Being nominated alongside so many outstanding organisations in the WatchGuard partner community is not something we take lightly. It reflects the effort, commitment, and ambition that the entire Speedster IT team brings to the table every single day, and it means a great deal to be acknowledged for it. The Value of Being in the Room Beyond the formal programme, IMPACT delivered something that no online seminar or online briefing can replicate genuine connection. The opportunity to spend time with fellow MSPs, WatchGuard’s leadership team, and partners from across Europe, sharing experiences, comparing approaches, and building relationships, is where much of the real value lies. The channel moves forward because people in it talk to each other, challenge each other, and support each other. Events like this make that happen. Thank You, WatchGuard A sincere thank you to the WatchGuard Technologies team for hosting such a well-run and genuinely engaging event. Bringing together a community of this size, across multiple countries, agendas, and expertise levels, whilst keeping it focused, relevant, and enjoyable is a considerable undertaking. It showed in every detail. What Comes Next for Speedster IT… We are returning from Croatia with fresh ideas, stronger partnerships, and a clear sense of the opportunities ahead. Whether that is deepening our work with WatchGuard’s security stack, expanding how we approach client conversations around emerging threats, or simply carrying the energy of the event into our day-to-day, the momentum is there. We are proud to be part of this community, and we are looking forward to what comes next.LouiseWith over 15 years at Speedster IT, I’ve built a career around helping businesses navigate the evolving world of technology.
