We find our band of troubadours fresh off the heels of HTG Summit in Dallas and prepping for WPC in July. Does that leave any room to help others in the internet delivered video arena? Of course it does.

The Varvid team recently returned from a triumphant excursion to Southern California for the live webcasting of MSPU’s Boot Camp in Santa Ana. Here’s the quick overview of what MSP University offers. Whether you’re a Managed Services startup, or a $100 million dollar a year Managed Services Provider, Managed Services Provider University has the resources and the experience to help you improve your IT business by decreasing costs and increasing revenue.

Aaron at the helm...

Not only did Varvid stream live from the event, they were on site to record a myriad of classes for the MSPU catalog, available exclusively to MSPU clients. Some of the topics that were discussed included Sales 101, Marketing, Service Delivery and CEO Tracks. Now if you didn’t get the chance to attend this Boot camp, not to worry. They offer these all over the nation.

In a nutshell, MSPU provides MSP’s the opportunity to continue to learn the ins & outs of this industry. Visit their site for more details and to learn more about this incredible organization.

A special thanks to the Varvid crew on hand for this stellar event; Traci, Trevor & Jeremy really stepped up to the plate and took charge. And what can we say about “King” Aaron? Simply put, he is the reason Varvid continues to be an industry leader in internet delivered video, from event coverage and webcasting to client testimonials and case studies.

Jill Kerr, VP of Industry Development for CompTIA, chats with Varvid’s Aaron Booker at MSP University’s Los Angeles Boot Camp about their Vision of 500. CompTIA’s CEO Todd Thibodeaux has challenged his organization to reach a goal of 500 active members at the leadership or executive level and 5000 highly engaged members in 5 years.

Learning for VARs is integral to growing their business. From online webinars and content to Breakaway, CompTIA’s flagship event, CompTIA provides many tools to do so.
Connecting in a virtual world and having an opportunity to meet each other face-to-face is key to the relationship process, be it other VAR/MSPs or vendors.
Succeed by utilizing the money saving programs and opportunities CompTIA provides, as well as being part of a larger organization that has their members best interests in mind.

Susan G Komen Race for the Cure!

The forecast may have been for grey skies and soggy conditions, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of those participating in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure run in Seattle. Varvid’s Drew Graham was on hand, along with race sponsors Wellesse Premium Liquid Supplements, to take in the sights and sounds of family and friends doing their part to help support those who have battled with this disease. One of the highlights for us was the Survivor Parade which was the culmination of the event. To watch hundreds of women (and a few men) who have fought or are currently fighting breast cancer, there to support one another… that was incredible. Thanks to Lori McKnight, Leslie Ellis, Sharon Beerman, Meridith Mossman and Greg Andrews from Wellesse for allowing us to document this gathering. We look forward to doing it again.

Together we’ll find the cure.
