ConnectWise Automation Nation 2017
The sold-out ConnectWise Automation Nation 2017 drew its biggest attendance ever with more than 860 attendees — about two-thirds of whom were first timers.
The spring event, held June 19-21, at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Orlando, offered partners 60 breakout sessions addressing best practices as well as how to integrate ConnectWise Automate Suite into their businesses, a Solutions Pavilion with more than 30 vendors, and networking opportunities for all.

At the ConnectWise Automation Nation 2017 welcome reception, held in the Solutions Pavilion, partners got to schmooze and booze with each other and more than 30 vendors — a mix of resell vendors and those vendors whose solutions plug into ConnectWise Automate.
There were eight new vendor participants at this year’s event: Acronis, StorageCraft Cloud, Avalara, Auvik, Bitdefender, Passportal, IT by Design and Webroot DNS.

The day-one keynote at Automation Nation focused on the ConnectWise product strategy. The morning presenters were Brett Cheloff, general manager, Automate, and Craig Fulton, chief product strategist at ConnectWise.
What's a tech conference without a Hack-A-Thon and Script-a-Thon? Automation Nation featured two opportunities for ConnectWise Automate geeks to participate in a little friendly competition and win prizes — including a free registration to Automation Nation 2018.
On the subject of geeks, Answer Desk consultants were available to answer any questions and solve any issues regarding ConnectWise Automate.
There was no shortage of security vendors – Webroot, ESET, Bitdefender, Datto, Intronis, Kapersky Lab, Acronis, Sophos, etc. – on the Solutions Pavilion show floor.
CEO Arnie Bellini talked about the company’s business strategy and addressing the managed security services provider (MSSP) wave with a ConnectWise solution to help partners establish a security practice.
