Well, that’s a wrap on another successful Quarterly meeting with our partners!
Summer Quarterly was held at our offices at Legacy Central in Plano on July 18th and 19th, and we had an incredible time with all of you.
Our first day saw training from ID Agent, Blokworx, Deep Instinct, and Cytracom! Day 1 was focused heavily on cybersecurity; discussing hacked passwords, the dark web, and how to protect your employees’ credentials. The day concluded with a happy hour sponsored by Cytracom, and featured hours of games, music and good times spent with our 20 family.
Day 2 kicked off with Roland Technology’s Emily Powell who showed our members how to work lead generation to their benefit to help create an efficient lead list. The day continued with special training segments from Password Boss, Datto, and Crayon — the latter letting our partners know about some fun stuff heading their way! CEO Tim Conkle then took charge by opening up the floor to discuss the direction of The 20 with our partners, and how we see our growth in the future. He also discussed things for us to improve upon to get to that next level of greatness.
So much was learned, and so much fun was had – there’s nothing we look forward to more than when we have our partners in town, and in the same room. It’s a tremendous energy, and we’re always sad when it ends!
If you have any questions about future Quarterly events, give us a call! And don’t forget about VISION ’19 coming up in October!

Well that’s a wrap on another successful Quarterly meeting with our partners!
Spring Quarterly was held at our offices at Legacy Central in Plano on April 11th and 12th, and we had an incredible time with all of you.
Our first day was entirely dedicated to in-depth training session by CloudJumper where they showcased their new Cloud Workspace Management Suite on the new Microsoft Azure Marketplace. This day-long training really allowed Cloudjumper to dive deep into the product and focus our members on the benefits of the new suite that features simplified management, optimized billing, and more automation with control.
The day concluded with 2 demos on ACE and CWA setup, followed by a happy hour sponsored by Cytracom! It was 2 hours of games, music and good times spent with our 20 family.
Day 2 kicked off with Tim Conkle discussing how vision without execution is purely a dream. He also talked about the unlimited potential of growth that exists if you simply reach for it enough. Then, Elite member John Rutkowski of Bolder Designs gave a great presentation on client relations and onboarding.
So much was learned, and so much fun was had – there’s nothing we look forward to more then when we have our partners in town, and in the same room. It’s a tremendous energy, and we’re always sad when it ends!

We kicked off the new year with 2019’s Winter Quarterly on January 17, and it was a wonderful experience! Held at our offices at Legacy Central in Plano, our new space really allowed the event to shine. And as always, getting so many of our partners from around the country conversing in the same room is a real pleasure.
We pride ourselves on creating a family-like atmosphere, so to see the close friendships that have formed between the MSPs is truly amazing.
But to Quarterly itself, it was an incredible 2 days of insight and fellowship.
Tim Conkle of course kicked things off with a lot of energy and some famous “Tim-isms” – always a surefire way to get everyone feeling good and motivated to grow their companies!
It was then time for all of our great vendors to walk us through their amazing products and how MSPs can utilize them to run their IT companies more successfully.
Vendors like:
Deep Instinct, which serves as proactive cybersecurity that applies deep learning techniques to protect against cyberattacks.
Cytracom, which provides VoIP made simple, specifically created for small to medium MSPs.
Itopia: offering solutions that empower enterprises and service providers to deliver and consume cloud in an easy, secure, scalable and cost-efficient manner.
RapidFire Tools, whose offerings include Network Detective for IT assessments, documentation and reporting; Audit Guru for Compliance Process Automation; Cyber Hawk for internal cyber security threat detection and alerting.
Veriato, which specializes in providing insight and actionable intelligence into the activities and behaviors of the user: employees, contractors, and those who seek to steal their credentials.
Compliancy Group: providing everything you need for compliance. They cover every aspect of regulation and document every step of the process. Includes HIPAA, PCI and more.
Then, sprinkled throughout, were appearances by our very own Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Crystal McFerran, our CIO, Jonathan Blakey, our Support Desk and NOC Manager, Zach Eshelman, and attorney Dan Astin, of Ciardi Ciardi & Astin. Crystal broke down the approach of our marketing program, Jonathan spoke on best practices for working with the 20, Zach discussed the onboarding process — as well as IT Glue and their powerful documentation management, and Dan Astin discussed limiting risk and maximizing customer relationships.
So much was learned, and so much fun was had – especially at our in-house Happy Hour Thursday night!
