The running order

How the day runs.

From 9:30 through to a quarter to six, then the evening. The timings are the plan, but the room can bend them if a session's earning its keep.

9:0030 min window
Arrival window

Coffee, pastries, and hellos.

Doors open at Flotek from 9:00. Coffee's on. Aim to be settled by 9:30 when the room starts.

9:3030 min
Introductions

Welcome and host walkthrough.

Jay opens the day with a walkthrough of Flotek Group. The real version, not the website version. The wins, the scars, the open questions. New faces at the table introduce themselves and their business.

10:0030 min
First on the agenda

Scores on the doors.

Round the table with a quick, honest read across three areas: Business (the numbers), Personal (life outside), and Mojo (the fire). Fast round, headlines only. The detail lands in the sessions that follow.

10:3060 min
The vendor in the room

One vendor. Two aims: understand the room, and earn it.

A single vendor joins us to introduce their company, their products, and how they help MSPs. Special group pricing on the table for members who want to consolidate. Slotted early while the room's fresh.

Vendor to be confirmed
Company, sector and group offer announced ahead of the meeting

The vendor slot for this meeting is being finalised. Confirmed vendors get the hour with the room and are expected to bring a genuine group pricing offer for members, not a generic pitch. Details will land in the Brigade WhatsApp closer to the date.

Presenting

To be confirmed. Company overview, MSP product fit, live demo where relevant, and the commercial offer for the room.

11:3060 min
Open floor, 5 mins each

What's working well.

Share the wins. What's actually moving the needle in your business right now, whether that's a channel, a hire, a product line, or a process. Everyone leaves with ideas to grow. Twelve people at around 5 minutes each fills the hour comfortably.

12:3030 min
Break

Lunch.

Lunch on the house at Flotek. Proper food, not sandwiches at your desk.

13:0030 min
Break, still

Tour of Flotek.

A walkthrough of the operation. The SOC, the workshop, the office setup at Bocam Park. See how the sausage gets made and take ideas away for your own business.

13:30up to 60 min
Business insights

A focused session on something the room needs to know.

Timely and useful. Cyber Essentials changes, team benefits, regulation, the stuff every owner should have on the radar.

Speaker to be confirmed
Topic and speaker announced closer to the date

The business insights slot for this meeting is being finalised. Members will get the speaker's name, their background, and the topic they'll cover ahead of the event, so you know exactly what to bring to the conversation.

Presenting

To be confirmed. Likely something practical and time sensitive for MSP owners this quarter.

14:3030 min
Quick round

Sector insights.

What everyone's seeing in the market. Pricing shifts, vendor moves, customer behaviour, anything worth getting ahead of before it lands on you. Half an hour gives the room time to actually chew on the interesting ones.

15:0045 min
Buying club

Commercial pricing review.

Put what you're paying on the table. Where it makes sense, combine and buy as a group. Better pricing for the room without any of us doing individual deals.

15:45up to 2 hours
Open floor

The fire station.

Burning issues on the table. Bring the thing that's keeping you up, and the room helps you put it out. Two hours means the tough ones get proper airtime, not a five minute deflection.

17:45
Formal close

Close of business.

Break, freshen up, and reconvene for the social.
