DIA 2023 Annual Conference
As we are all finding our true center and guiding force, the DIA continues to push forward – working together for the betterment of the whole.
Our Mid-year Meeting brought many conversations to light. It showed the strength of our committees, and what amazing things we can do together.
This conference will bring together new partners along with our tried and true ones. It will focus on your MSPs valuation by a certified Valuation Analyst, Cyber Security Insurance the how, why, and what, and (back by popular demand) our own organizational security – thanks to Center for Internet Security.
Capped off by a working session lead by our committees. Make sure you stay for these. The committees job is to bring vetted information to the DIA whole for decisions – we can’t do this without you!
We can’t wait to see you!
