MSS Europe is a C-suite event that aims to explore the latest trends and developments in managed services market over the last year, and how they have influenced customer requirements and the ability to create value through managed services for organisations and their end-users.
Like previous years, there is an overall theme set for the conference.

MSS Europe features conference session presentations by specialists in the sector, including an engaging keynote session delivered by Rik Vera, a renowned thought-leader, keynote speaker, advisor and workshop facilitator on the topics of customer-centricity, ecosystems, change management, sales & marketing.
Throughout the day there will be a unique blend of presentations, panel discussions and extensive networking time for delegates to meet face to face again with potential business partners. In the afternoon, Miro Parizek, principal partner, and founder at Hampleton, the international M&A and corporate finance advisory firm, will share his insight in a keynote titled: “Building Value in your Business.”

First, we will hear the voices of various experts discussing whether companies around Europe should have specialised knowledge and a thorough understanding of their client’s industry and the latest trends, technologies, regulations and standards to support them.
