2024 MSP 501 Special Awards Finalists Revealed

The MSP Summit, in partnership with Channel Futures, is announcing finalists for the 2024 MSP 501 Special Awards that honor managed service providers and executives for exemplary performance over the past year. We will recognize executives and organizations during the annual MSP 501 Gala, Sept. 18, in Atlanta.

As part of the awards ceremony, the MSP Summit and Channel Futures will crown this year’s Executives of the Year, leaders who outperformed their peers, and pay special tribute to the 2024 Lifetime Achievement winners for their tireless contributions to the channel. 

You’ve probably already seen the full list of 2024 MSP 501 winners.

As part of the annual MSP 501 listing and channel partner recognition, the MSP Summit received hundreds of applications from partners around the globe who filled out detailed forms demonstrating their company performance, individual executive achievement and efforts to meet the needs of their customers — large, midmarket and small. The Informa Channel team screens the bevy of applicants for accuracy and adherence to award guidelines before sending the group of finalists to this year’s prestigious judging panel who determine the winners. The MSP Summit and Channel Futures are part of Informa, a global events, digital services and academic research company, which recently announced a bid to purchase a majority stake in Tech Target.

We will name and honor these winners Sept. 18 at the MSP 501 Awards Gala, part of Informa’s MSP Summit, Sept. 16-19, in Atlanta.

You can register for the event now.

Hundreds of MSPs will attend the MSP 501 Gala to hear about and from the winners. The finalists are in the slideshow above – all except for the Lifetime Achievement winners. We’re keeping that list secret until the presentation.
