Tech Simplified Partners with Women in Tech Global Conference 2026
A global learning opportunity for SMBs, MSPs, and the professionals who help them get real value from AI, cloud, and Microsoft tools
The pace of change in technology is not slowing down, and that creates both pressure and opportunity for small businesses, MSPs, and the teams that support them. That is why Tech Simplified is proud to announce that we are now an official Community Partner of the Women in Tech Global Conference 2026 (WTGC2026), a global event built around learning, leadership, and the future of technology.
WTGC2026 is recognized as the world’s largest conference for women, minorities, and allies in tech, bringing together a global community for four days of insight, connection, and practical learning. For SMBs and MSPs trying to stay relevant in AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and modern workplace tools, this is the kind of event worth paying attention to.

This is more than a conference announcement. It is a chance to connect with a global learning experience at a time when AI, automation, and Microsoft 365 adoption are actively reshaping how SMBs operate and how MSPs deliver value to their clients.
Why This Matters for SMBs
Small and midsize businesses are being asked to do more with fewer resources. Most do not have a large IT department, a dedicated innovation team, or endless budget to test every new tool. They are paying for AI and Microsoft tools today and not getting enough value from them. That is the exact gap Tech Simplified was built to close.
WTGC2026 can help SMB owners, COOs, operations leads, and office managers better understand where to focus their time and attention. The value comes from hearing how other organizations are tackling the same problems: reducing repeated manual work, improving team adoption, building safer AI habits, and making better use of tools they already pay for.
For SMBs, the biggest risk is rarely moving too fast. It is falling behind because the business never made time to learn what is changing.
Why MSPs Should Be Paying Attention
Managed service providers are in a unique position. SMB clients are already asking about AI tools, automation, and how to use Microsoft 365 more effectively. MSPs that stay informed are the ones building offers their clients actually want to buy.
The AI & Key Tech Summit on May 13 is particularly relevant for MSP owners and partner leads. It covers cloud, DevOps, generative AI, cybersecurity, and AI agents at scale, all areas that directly affect what MSPs can package, sell, and deliver.
For MSPs, this is not just training. It is market awareness. It is understanding where client demand is heading, what conversations matter most, and how to build sellable AI offers that hold up over time. That awareness is exactly what the MSP AI Offer Builder at Tech Simplified is designed to translate into a packaged offer your team can take to clients the same week.
Why Professionals on SMB and MSP Teams Should Care
For the professionals inside SMBs and MSPs, the operations leads, IT generalists, customer support managers, and team leaders, staying current is one of the clearest ways to protect and grow a career.
The Career Growth Summit on May 14 offers strong value for anyone who wants practical guidance on upskilling, AI literacy, and future-focused learning paths. That kind of content is useful whether you are sharpening skills inside your current role or preparing to take on more responsibility.
Our Story
We built Tech Simplified because the gap was too big to ignore.
For years, Sly Gittens, Founder of Tech Simplified, watched the same pattern repeat across companies of every size. Businesses would invest in technology like Microsoft 365, AI tools, and security solutions, but still struggle to get real value from them.
The problem was not the technology. The problem was adoption. Too often, nobody had taken the time to connect the tools to the work teams actually do every day.
Across 14 years working at Microsoft, Ingram Micro, RSA, and the broader tech partner ecosystem, Sly saw one thing clearly: there is a major gap between buying technology and using it well.
That is why Tech Simplified exists. The mission is to close that gap through practical, outcome-focused training, enablement, and workshops. Not more theory. Not learning that sits on a shelf. The goal is to help SMBs and MSPs apply what they learn in ways that create value the same week.
Tech Simplified does not provide implementation, software resale, managed services, or deployment work. We focus exclusively on training, enablement, and workshop delivery, which keeps our work clear, repeatable, and entirely independent.
What Drives Us
At the heart of Tech Simplified is a simple charter:
Educate clearly so SMBs and MSPs can make better technology decisions
Always Be Learning because growth belongs to those who keep building their skills
Champion diversity because better technology outcomes happen when more voices, experiences, and perspectives are included
That is one reason this partnership with WTGC2026 matters so much. Women in Technology is an intentional, named strand of the Tech Simplified brand, woven into our content, community, speaking work, and partnerships. Supporting WTGC2026 is a natural extension of that commitment, not a side project.
The Bigger Message: Always Be Learning
At Tech Simplified, we believe learning is one of the highest-return investments any SMB or MSP can make in technology. Markets shift. Tools evolve. Client expectations rise. The teams that keep learning are the ones that stay ready.
WTGC2026 aligns with that mindset. It brings together real practitioners, global perspectives, and meaningful conversations around the technologies shaping the future of work. In a noisy environment full of trends and hot takes, that kind of signal matters.

Final Thought
Technology is creating new opportunities for SMBs, MSPs, and the professionals who serve them, and at the same time it is raising the bar for everyone. The best response is not fear. It is learning.
That is why we are excited to support WTGC2026 and help bring more awareness to a conference centered on growth, innovation, and community. If you want to stay sharp, expand your perspective, and connect with where the industry is headed, this is an event worth watching.
Always Be Learning.
