Norwalk, Conn. – April 13, 2026 – Slide, the modern, security-first business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solution purpose-built for managed services providers (MSPs), is taking its partner-first approach on the road this month, bringing hands-on sessions directly to MSP communities across the U.S. and Europe.
As the IT threat landscape becomes more complex, MSPs are under increasing pressure to protect client data while keeping operations running. Managing hybrid environments, connecting tools, and meeting rising expectations around recovery are now part of the day-to-day reality.
Slide was built to address these challenges directly. Since launching in February 2025, the company has grown to nearly 1,000 partners by focusing on delivering a platform and operating model aligned entirely around MSP success. That includes same-day fixes driven by direct partner feedback, continuous product updates, and a month-to-month commercial model that keeps Slide accountable to its partners.
The roadshow is a direct extension of that approach. Each session is built to be practical and interactive, combining a candid discussion of what’s changing in BCDR, perspectives from MSPs already using Slide in the field, a live product demonstration, and a hands-on session where attendees can build and test ideas in real time using AI-assisted tools and Slide’s API.
“We talk to MSPs every day about what’s getting harder – more environments to manage, more complexity, more pressure to get recovery right,” said Michael Fass, co-founder and CEO of Slide. “But those conversations can’t just happen over tickets or calls. You’ve got to sit down together, look at real environments, and work through it. That’s what this roadshow is about.”The Spring 2026 roadshow kicks off in April with stops across Texas and California, followed by additional markets across North America and Europe throughout Q2 and Q3. For MSPs who can’t attend in person, Slide will continue to offer virtual programming. Learn more and register for U.S. sessions here and for European sessions here.
