The countdown is on. This September the CMIT Solutions family will come together for the biggest event of the year, CMIT Connect Live! 2025. From September 17 to 19 in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, more than 300 franchise leaders, partners, and industry experts will gather for an unforgettable three days of learning, networking, and celebrating excellence in IT and cybersecurity.
A Convention Like No Other
This is not your average conference. It is a powerhouse of ideas, connections, and hands-on training designed to fuel growth. Franchise owners, technicians, and partners will roll up their sleeves in interactive workshops, roundtable discussions, and live demos. Attendees will walk away with actionable tools to supercharge their businesses, from mastering EOS frameworks to harnessing AI-powered marketing, tackling cybersecurity head-on, and exploring new growth through mergers and acquisitions strategies.
Big Wins and Big Milestones
Of course, it would not be CMIT Connect Live! without a few celebrations. The Million Dollar Dinner will honor new and veteran franchisees who have hit incredible growth milestones, proving that with the right tools and community, the sky is the limit.
