Continuing its 2017 tour, ASCII Group hosted IT solution providers and vendors in Miami for two days of networking, education, and training.

The ASCII IT Success Summit gathered IT solution providers and dozens of vendors in Miami, September 27 to 28, for the eighth leg of the 2017 tour. Attendees took part in two days of networking, education, and training.

The ASCII Group events bring together over 150 IT solution providers and dozens of vendors in a two-day format that includes extensive networking, education, and training.

The pre-day event on Wednesday, September 27, started with a networking lunch and badge pickup, followed by presentations on security as a service, cybersecurity, marketing, advantages of a unified business management platform, transitioning from MSP to MSSP, and more.

On the second day of the summit, Jerry Koutavas, president of The ASCII Group, kicked off the event with a presentation on the ASCII roadmap.
