Seventh Annual ConnectWise IT Nation Event Attracts Largest Crowd Yet

More than 1,600 attendees expected at IT Nation 2011

TAMPA, Fla., October 18, 2011 –– ConnectWise, developer of the leading business management solution designed exclusively for IT service providers, VARS, ISVs and MSPs, today announced that this year's IT Nation event will be the largest ever held with more than 1,600 attendees registered.  This marks the seventh straight year that the event has sold out.

Held November 9-11 in Orlando, IT Nation provides IT solution providers and the entire channel ecosystem the opportunity to learn, collaborate with peers, and sharpen their business through 88 targeted breakout sessions and 8 hands-on labs and 5 town hall meetings. Microsoft, Google, HP, Cisco are among the 60+ vendors who will be in the IT Nation Solutions Pavilion to showcase the future of IT.

“We have a great group of vendors, but IT Nation is the ONLY event that focuses 100% of the agenda on IT solution providers,” said Arnie Bellini, ConnectWise CEO. “If you are an IT solution provider, IT Nation is a MUST attend. It’s the best two day sabbatical for your IT business. You’ll walk away with a whole new vision for your business, valuable peer relationships, and a perfect business plan for 2012.”
