About this Event

What This Event Is About

Join Simplex-IT for an interactive, in-person event focused on the real IT challenges businesses are facing today and what to do about them.

We’ll break down the hidden costs of “good enough” IT and show how smarter, more proactive technology strategies can reduce risk, support growth, and take pressure off your team.

All in a relaxed setting with food, beverages, and plenty of time to network.


What We’ll Cover

We’ll talk through the biggest pain points impacting organizations right now, including:

  • Economic Uncertainty
    How unpredictable IT costs and reactive spending hurt budgets, and how to make costs more predictable.
  • Retaining Talent
    Why overworked internal teams and IT skill gaps lead to burnout and turnover, and how the right support helps retain great people.
  • Security Threats
    How growing cyber risks (and AI-driven attacks) affect small and mid-sized businesses, and practical ways to reduce exposure without added complexity.

What You’ll Get Out of It
  • A clearer understanding of where IT risks and costs are hiding
  • Practical insights you can apply to your business right away
  • Real examples of how managed and co-managed IT can improve efficiency and security
  • Meaningful conversations with peers and IT experts
  • 20% off your first 3 months of service for attending the event

  • Time built in for networking and discussion
