In The News

Bethesda, Maryland – January 6, 2015 — The ASCII Group, a membership-based community of independent MSPs, VARs and solution providers, is pleased to announce the upcoming dates and locations for its 2015 IT SMB Success Summit Series.  With hundreds of events delivered over the years and thousands of connections made between Managed Service providers and key industry leaders, the ASCII Success Summits 2015 are taking success to the next level.  In eight different markets across the US, attendees will hear directly from fellow IT community members that are successfully driving managed services revenue in security and key verticals, including legal and health care.

The Success Summits made their debut in 2000, and have become the premier event for IT solution providers because of the model that The ASCII Group has successfully built their events around.   Attendees have the opportunity to obtain education, hear innovative industry presentations, tour a cutting-edge vendor solutions pavilion, attend an exclusive member meeting, and most importantly network with their peers.

A major highlight for the 2015 series is the special guest speaker that ASCII has secured, the leading authority on reading people through non-verbal communication, FBI Analyst and Author, Joe Navarro.  Joe is recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities on non-verbal communications and he is regularly interviewed on programs such as NBC’s Today Show, Fox News, ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS’ Early Show, BBC News, and for publications such as The Washington Post, South China Morning Post and Psychology Today.

“The Success Summits are a great way for our members and the IT community to come together,” said Jerry Koutavas, President, The ASCII Group. “We continue to innovate and help spark interaction amongst the 1,600 attendees while providing great content and best practices they can apply in their businesses.”

The Summit Series is designed for qualified industry IT professionals and Managed Service Providers, and is targeted towards those who are looking to increase revenue and enhance their current business model.  ASCII members receive free admission to the event.

“The people I meet, along with the training and leadership that ASCII provides at the Success Summits is invaluable,” said Jim Hunton, Onsite Technical Services, ASCII member since 2012.  “I definitely recommend attending the events…kudos to everyone at ASCII.  I look forward to seeing the schedule for 2016!”
