XChange MSP 2026: Registrations now open
The UK IT channel's most strategic MSP leadership forum has returned
CRN is pleased to announce the return of XChange MSP for 2026, bringing together senior leaders from the UK’s most ambitious managed service providers and technology suppliers at a critical moment for the channel.
The UK managed services market has entered its most transformative period in a decade.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping customer expectations, cyber threats are accelerating faster than defensive capability, and consolidation is redefining competition across the channel.
For the first time, regulation will also formally place many MSPs within national cyber resilience frameworks.
The channel is no longer simply evolving, but restructuring.
XChange MSP 2026 is designed to help MSP leadership teams understand what comes next, and how to lead through it.
The event provides a strategic forum for decision-makers to step away from day-to-day operational pressures and focus on the forces reshaping managed services, from technology and regulation to business models and growth strategies.
Built specifically for senior MSP leaders, the event focuses on the real decisions shaping the next phase of managed services, rather than surface-level trend discussion.
Attendees will engage in interactive, peer-led discussions alongside vendors, distributors and channel leaders, creating an environment designed to encourage openness, challenge assumptions and drive outcomes.
Across the programme, delegates will explore how MSPs can position themselves in an AI-led services market, scale beyond headcount through automation and platformisation, and turn compliance and regulation into commercial opportunity.
Sessions will also examine how leadership teams can respond to rising customer expectations, intensifying security pressures and a more competitive, consolidated landscape.
The 2026 edition will once again bring together C-suite leaders, managing directors and senior decision-makers from across the UK MSP community.
The event’s curated format is designed to maximise meaningful interaction, enabling attendees to benchmark their strategies, test ideas with peers and build relationships that extend beyond the conference itself.
For MSP leaders navigating one of the most consequential periods the channel has faced, XChange MSP 2026 offers the opportunity to step back, look ahead and help shape what comes next.
