The three-day event included compelling keynotes from prominent industry speakers, executive sessions led by MES IT Leadership Network’s advisory board members, and demonstrations from some of the most midmarket-focused vendors and service providers in the tech space.

Hundreds of midmarket IT executives, technology vendors and MSPs convened earlier this week in Orlanda, Fla., for the MES Spring Summit.

The three-day event included compelling keynotes from prominent industry speakers, executive sessions led by MES IT Leadership Network’s advisory board members, and demonstrations from some of the most midmarket-focused vendors and service providers in the tech space.

There was downtime too, with feasts, networking gatherings and even a 1920s-inspired speakeasy-themed closing party.

Here are images from the event held at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel Seaworld.
