The MSP industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Growth, consolidation, AI adoption, cybersecurity demands, and changing customer expectations are reshaping how managed service providers, vendors, and channel leaders operate every day.
The 2026 ForzaDash | MSP Influencer Awards were created to recognize the individuals and organizations actively driving that momentum forward.
Now in its sixth year, the awards focus on impact—not popularity. Each category highlights a different segment of the ecosystem and the people helping define what success looks like in the modern MSP market.
With submissions closing on June 15, 2026, this is the final opportunity for companies and leaders across the channel to be recognized.
✶ MSP Channel Leaders
Strong leadership continues to shape the future of the MSP channel. This category recognizes executives and professionals influencing partnerships, go-to-market strategy, enablement, and channel growth.
From vendor channel chiefs to ecosystem builders, these are the leaders helping MSPs navigate industry change while creating stronger alignment across the channel.
✶ Vendor Excellence
MSPs rely heavily on vendor relationships, but not every vendor operates the same way. Vendor Excellence highlights companies that consistently support MSP success through product innovation, partner engagement, enablement, and operational alignment.
The focus is on vendors that understand how MSPs actually run their businesses and continue investing in partner-driven growth.
