“If you're an MSP looking for a growth hack, Viirtue Connect is the place to be.” That's how Dan Rosenrauch, Co-Founder of Viirtue, describes the company's upcoming partner conference and its broader mission to help MSPs scale smarter. In a conversation with Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green, Rosenrauch previewed Viirtue Connect 2025, taking place October 7–9 at the Woolworth Theater in downtown Nashville. For the first time, Viirtue is hosting the event outside its Tampa headquarters, choosing Nashville for its central location and vibrant atmosphere. “We don't often get the chance to see all of our partners in one spot,” Rosenrauch said. “Viirtue Connect is about learning how to grow together — and then celebrating together.” Despite industry-wide caution on travel budgets, registrations and sponsorships are already surpassing previous years. Rosenrauch credits this to the growing demand for smaller, more focused gatherings. “These bespoke shows resonate more with partners than the giant generalist events,” he noted. For MSPs, Viirtue Connect promises more than product updates. Attendees will gain hands-on training — from Google Ads and API integration workshops to collaborative Q&A sessions with Viirtue engineers and partners. The event will also showcase the roadmap for the v45 VoIP platform, new integrations such as Authorize.NET, and innovation from Viirtue's Vibe team. Networking opportunities will extend beyond the sessions, with evening events at Nashville landmarks like Luke's Rooftop. Beyond the conference, Rosenrauch emphasized Viirtue's broader role as a growth partner. From high-margin VoIP services to layered offerings like e-fax, cybersecurity, and AI, Viirtue is equipping MSPs with both the technology and the sales enablement to drive recurring revenue. “Our focus is on brand visibility and customer growth,” Rosenrauch said. “We're not just handing partners a solution and saying, ‘good luck.' We're teaching them how to grow.” Learn more and register at connect.viirtue.com.

At the age of 18, he set off to expand his repertoire of Spanish cuisine by training at some of the world's most prestigious restaurants such as ARZAK, Mugaritz and with Albert Adria at the iconic el Bulli restaurant in Roses, Spain. His curiosity and passion for culture eventually lead him to Kyoto, Japan where he was introduced to Kaiseki which is an exquisite form of dining that moves elegantly and poetically with the seasons.  Sergio has used his culinary and artistic experience to create beautiful and inspirational images for food books, magazines and film productions. He is currently the brand ambassador for Winning Appliances, working alongside John Winning's team on numerous culinary and creative projects.

Adriano Zumbo is a chef and TV presenter. He is one of Australia's most celebrated pâtissiers and the star of the Netflix TV shows Zumbo's Just Desserts and Sugar Rush. As a popular figure in the pastry world he has garnered many nicknames including, ‘The Sweet Assassin', ‘Pâtissier of Pain, ‘Dark Lord of the Pastry Kitchen' and has been lauded as ‘Australia's answer to Willy Wonka'. Adriano is a regular guest judge on MasterChef Australia and has appeared on Dessert Masters on Network 10. This country boy's first taste of the sweet life was raiding the lollies and cake mix from his parent's Coonamble supermarket. Adriano began his apprenticeship at the age of 15 where his love affair with pastry flourished. An appearance on the first series of MasterChef Australia was instrumental in introducing the croquembouche to an even wider audience and made Adriano – and macarons – a household name.  Adriano has released three bestselling cookbooks, has competed in several prominent international competitions including Coupe de Monde and the Asian Pastry Cup. It is, however, his love affair with confectionery, combined with his Parisian training at institutions that include l'Ecole Lenôtre, Bellouet and Pierre Hermé and which has resulted in a sensibility as delicious as it is irreverent.  Adriano is a favourite on the international events circuit traveling to India, Indonesia, Mexico, South America and Malaysia demonstrating his sweet skills to an audience of devotees.  Creativity is evident in every layer of Adriano's elaborate desserts. Constantly evolving and always considering his next move, cake, or idea, Adriano's infectious energy keeps his fans on their toes. They love it that way, and so does he.  We chat about the creativity, loss of his businesses and the toll it took, his love of creating, crazy macaroons flavours, stress and cooking, getting on TV & MasterChef, tailored needs of the school system plus plenty more!
