GTIA takes the work seriously, and that means showing up where the channel is.
Last week, CEO Dan Wensley, board member Carrie Green, and advisory board member Luis Giraldo were in Vancouver for the CanIT onTour Roadshow, a full day built around helping MSPs grow, connect, and take something practical back to their businesses.
GTIA is a proud partner of The CanIT Collective, and events like this are a reminder of why that relationship matters.
