Want to meet some of the top managed service providers (MSPs) in Australia?
The MSP Index directory is a growing list of Australian MSPs – it is part of a program analysing the MSP landscape. Our ambition is to make this analysis a barometer of the Australian MSP landscape and MSP maturity, offerings, partnerships, opportunities and challenges. We will present this analysis throughout the year, including at the Pipeline conference.
MSPs are a crucial part of Australia's IT industry, which is why we have built a specific program of activity focused on them.
In its second year, the MSP Index Roadshow will take place in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
Each event will be used to discuss the data that has been collected from all the MSPs that are a part of the directory. There will be an afternoon networking session where MSPs will be invited to network with sponsors. The techpartner.news editorial team will deliver MSP related content in the form of keynotes and panel discussions on stage, unpacking the MSP channel landscape.
For vendors and distributors looking to meet MSPs interested in strategic discussion and brand building, don't miss out on the MSP index event in your city.
The MSP Index Roadshow 2026 will focus on:


A look at which SMB business models and specialisations are paying off in 2026, where efficiency and automation gains are real, and how AI is reshaping cost structures. A grounded snapshot of what's working, what isn't, and where profitability wins are emerging.
A practical look at how MSPs are carving out their competitive edge in an increasingly crowded market. Expect an honest discussion on what's helping MSPs stand out,
