Sessions:

In today’s AI-driven, efficiency-focused world, MSPs are racing to optimize everything—except leadership. We promote people into leadership roles without training, without accountability, and without systems to support their growth. The result? Misalignment, burnout, and stalled team performance.

In this powerful keynote, Kam Attwal-Kaila challenges MSPs to stop treating leadership as a job title and start building it as an operating system. You’ll learn how to identify and develop leaders who can thrive in a fast-changing environment—and walk away with a fresh perspective on what your team truly needs to succeed.

Because the future of teamwork isn’t just about smarter tools. It’s about stronger leaders.

If you're waiting until the annual review to address performance issues—you're way too late. This session will show you how to create a culture of continuous performance feedback, real accountability, and clear outcomes—without creating fear or resentment.
