Conference Recap: ASCII, IT Nation & Swag (EP 934)
Description
In this live IT Nation recap episode, Uncle Marv threads travel anecdotes, conference takeaways, and practical MSP automation into a cohesive narrative. He shares a whirlwind tour that included Lakeland, Philly, and Orlando, culminating in conference reflections and a candid look at the event’s content breadth. The episode doubles as a field report on vendor engagement, with attention to the PitchIT competition and the reality that large conferences often overwhelm attendees with sessions; the solution is deliberate planning and team division to maximize value.
