We take a look at IT Nation, the annual IT community event held in Orlando, Florida. We explore the vendors present at the event, the swag and shirts available, and the keynote speaker, Jesse Cole, the founder of Fans First Entertainment and the owner of the Savannah Bananas. We discuss the concept of hyper-automation and the platforms used to integrate all the tools. 

We also talk about the ChannelProgram, an MSP vendor platform, and their product reviews, industry event calendar, and vendor management platform.
