Applications for the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards are now open 

If your MSP is delivering exceptional service, your team is thriving, and your customers value the work you do, it may be time to earn the recognition you deserve.

Third-party recognition is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to an MSP. Awards help differentiate your business from competitors and provide independent validation that reinforces your credibility with prospective clients. When an industry award recognizes your success, you don’t have to be the only one telling your story.

Here is what you need to know about applying for the 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards.

It’s about excellence, not size

As a small business owner, you might be wondering if you can compete against larger organizations with bigger teams, higher revenues, and larger marketing budgets. The answer is yes.

The MSP Titans of the Industry Awards are open to MSPs of all sizes. There are no revenue requirements or minimum team sizes. Winners are selected based on excellence, innovation, and impact—not company size.

The awards are evaluated on these three points:

• Quality of services and client relationships
• Growth and innovation in business
• Commitment to their team and community

Each MSP can apply in up to three categories. With 30 categories in total, there are opportunities for MSPs of every size, in every niche, at every stage of growth.

Categories include:

• Cybersecurity
• Compliance
• AI
• Vertical Specialization
• Regional Recognition
• Women-led
• Veteran-led
• Under 40
• And more!

Celebrate in Beverly Hills

The 2026 MSP Titans of the Industry Awards Gala will take place on December 9, 2026, at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

All finalists receive a complimentary ticket to attend the event. The evening delivers a true Hollywood experience, complete with a red-carpet entrance, interviews, professional photography, and special guest appearances from Rob Lowe and David Spade. It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your achievements alongside peers from across the industry.

Unable to attend personally? Don’t let travel plans stop you from applying. A representative from your company may attend on your behalf.

One application equals one donation

For every completed application, the Global Technology Industry Association (GTIA) will donate $100 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, up to a total of $30,000. The application is free to complete, but its impact extends beyond the awards program and can help a child in need.

Application deadline: July 31, 2026

Applications close on July 31, 2026, and will not reopen until next year.

You’ve already put in the hard work to build and grow your business. This is your opportunity to gain the recognition that reflects those achievements.

How awards help your business

Consider the perspective of a prospective client evaluating multiple MSPs. When they visit your website and see that your company has been recognized by an independent industry awards program, it immediately builds trust and credibility. That recognition can help influence purchasing decisions before your sales team ever has a conversation.

Finalists of the Titans of the Industry Awards get more than just a ticket to an awards show.

All finalists receive:

• An official finalist awards certificate showing you as one of just 10 MSPs nationwide to be honored as a finalist in your category
• Inclusion in a press release distributed to over 400 media outlets, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and other major networks
• Professional red-carpet photos from the awards Gala to use in your marketing and social media.
• Official finalist graphics for websites, presentations, sales materials, and promotional campaigns

Award winners receive:

• A Titan Award trophy to proudly display as a symbol of achievement
• Additional inclusion in a press release announcing the winners for added visibility and authority
• A complete media and marketing press kit to help promote the award across digital, social, and print channels
• Professional award presentation photos, including images with celebrity guests
