Kaseya Just Hosted Its Last DattoCon Conference In The US

‘It’s the end of an era,’ says Kevin Damghani, CEO of ITPartners+. ‘Connect kept getting bigger, and DattoCon was trying to remain the same. But it was a great run.’

The DattoCon conference hosted by Kaseya last week will be the last held in the U.S. as the MSP platform company shifts that content to its flagship Connect event in Las Vegas, CRN has learned.

“Moving forward, Kaseya will focus on Connect as its primary large North American event,” a Kaseya spokesperson confirmed to CRN in an email. “We will incorporate the best elements of DattoCon into the program in Las Vegas. We will also continue investing in the large events that fuel our peer groups and our local events.”

Miami-based Kaseya took over DattoCon after acquiring rival vendor Datto for $6.2 billion in 2022. Since then, Kaseya has held both DattoCon and Connect conferences annually about six months apart in the U.S.

All international events, such as DattoCon Dublin and DattoCon APAC, will still be hosted annually, according to the spokesperson.

DattoCon 2025, hosted in Miami, brought in 2,200 attendees. In 2023, it brought in more than 3,500 attendees, according to a 2023 press release about the event.

“It’s the end of an era,” said Kevin Damghani, CEO of Grand Rapids, Mich.-based ITPartners+. “Connect kept getting bigger, and DattoCon was trying to remain the same. But it was a great run.”

Going forward, he would like to see Kaseya incorporate a Datto-focused pre-day into Connect “to retain what made DattoCon so powerful.”

Tim Guim, CEO of Sewell, N.J.-based PCH Technologies, said he valued the information Kaseya provided to MSPs through the DattoCon event.

“There was a lot of great content focused on education. MSPs were really involved, and a lot of that is getting lost,” he said. “So while I understand the consolidation, it’s disappointing to see that go.”

As Kaseya prepares for its flagship Connect Global conference in 2026, some partners hope the company takes the opportunity to enhance its messaging and format while maintaining the community-driven, partner-centric focus of DattoCon.

Guim suggested dual tracks or special segments within the Connect event to spotlight the type of content previously brought out through DattoCon.

It’s also important to align content with partner needs, Guim said.

“If you’re only announcing product updates, that’s not enough,” he said. “Involve MSPs in the content and the strategy. Make it about the community, not just the road map.”

Kaseya Connect 2026 is scheduled for April 27 to 30 in Las Vegas.
