# Event Details - **Event Name**: From Managed to Essential: A Sounding Board for MSP leaders. - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Not a conference. Not a pitch fest. A curated room of MSP leaders working through the MSSP transition before the market makes the decision.About this EventThe market is not waiting. Clients who never used to ask about security posture are asking now - and 47% say they would switch providers for a stronger cybersecurity offering. The window to build a credible MSSP practice on your own terms is narrowing, and the operators who cross successfully do not improvise their way across.On June 23, 2026, MTMG and Dirigo bring together MSP owners, founders, and operators at The Dirigo Center for a practitioner-led evening built around the decisions that actually define the MSP-to-MSSP transition. The tools that separate a defensible security practice from a marketing claim. The pricing models, team structures, and client conversations that determine whether the move is real or cosmetic. The operational realities that polished vendor roadmaps tend to leave out.Two moderated panels. Practitioners who live inside the MSSP space every day. A room intentionally limited in size because the quality of the conversation depends on the quality of the room.If the question of whether — and how — to make the move to security services is one you are genuinely sitting with, this is where that conversation belongs.Agenda?: 05:00 PM - 07:30 PMFrom Managed to Essential: The Sounding Board?: 05:00 PMWelcome and minglingInfo: The evening begins on the floor, not a stage.
