The MSP Index Roadshow is coming to Auckland, bringing together managed service providers and technology industry leaders for an afternoon of market insights, practical discussion and networking.

Discover the trends shaping the New Zealand MSP market in 2026, from profitability and AI to automation, differentiation and business growth.

Topics to explore

The afternoon will feature MSP market analysis, fireside chats and panel discussions, followed by a dedicated networking session.
Profitability
Panel 1 - SMB Profitability
What's really driving MSP profitability in 2026?

A look at which SMB business models and specialisations are paying off, where efficiency and automation gains are real, and how AI is reshaping cost structures.

We'll explore what's working, what's not, and where new profitability opportunities are emerging for MSPs.
Differentiation

How are MSPs standing out in an increasingly crowded market?

A practical look at how MSPs are carving out their competitive edge and creating meaningful points of difference.
