UKON at Right of Boom 2026

Right of Boom is a conference where MSPs come to talk tools and tactics, but often leave with a clearer understanding of where their real exposure sits. Liability, insurance structure, and contract language tend to matter more than most expect once the conversations get practical.

This year also marks an important change. If you’ve attended Right of Boom before and remember FifthWall Solutions, you won’t find that name on the agenda anymore. In June 2025, FifthWall Solutions officially rebranded as UKON. Same team. Same focus on cyber insurance and MSP risk. New name.

That makes Right of Boom 2026 the first time UKON is sponsoring the event under the new brand.

UKON will be on-site Feb. 3–6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. You’ll find the team at Booth #86, and you’ll have two chances to catch UKON on stage, where Reid Wellock, President and Chief Operating Officer, will be joined by MSP attorney Eric Tilds for a session focused on reducing MSP exposure through stronger MSAs and properly structured Tech E&O.

If you’re attending Right of Boom looking for FifthWall Solutions, look for UKON instead. Same people. Same mission.

TWO CHANCES TO CATCH THE SESSION

Eric Tilds is an MSP-focused attorney with nearly three decades in technology, including building and exiting his own MSP before advising hundreds of providers worldwide. He specializes in MSAs, liability exposure, and helping MSPs avoid learning hard lessons in court instead of in conference rooms.

ABOUT ERIC TILDS

ABOUT REID WELLOCK

Reid Wellock is President and Chief Operating Officer of UKON, where he helps MSPs, agencies, and carriers translate cyber risk into real financial decisions. A champion of Cyber Practice Leadership, Reid brings deep experience across cyber insurance, underwriting, and Tech E&O, with a focus on reducing exposure before incidents turn into claims.

If you’ve ever looked at your MSA and thought, “It’s fine, we’ve been using it forever,” this session is for you. If you’ve ever assumed your cyber policy or your Tech E&O “probably covers it,” this session is for you too.

The conversation is direct: how MSP liability has changed, where it’s hiding, and what you can do about it before a client incident turns into a legal and financial mess.

SESSION TALKING POINTS

Most MSPs don’t get hurt because they were careless. They get hurt because the lines were never drawn clearly.

Eric’s work lives inside those lines. He’s spent decades in the MSP world, and his message is consistent: your MSA is the fence. If it’s vague, you’re not “safer.” You’re on the hook for everything.

Reid will connect the legal reality to the insurance reality, specifically where MSPs tend to get blindsided:

• TECH E&O MATTERS MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK

  MSPs often buy cyber and feel covered. Then the first serious allegation comes in and it’s not a cyber claim, it’s a professional liability claim. The client’s incident may be cyber. The MSP’s exposure is usually Tech E&O.

• MSAs ARE NOT PAPERWORK. THEY'RE PROTECTION.

  Your MSA is where you define scope, obligations, and what the client is responsible for. If it’s outdated, skinny, or copied from a template that was written when “managed services” still meant rebooting a server, you are carrying risk you did not price.

• CLIENT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS ARE A FORCING FUNCTION

  Requiring clients to carry cyber insurance is not about becoming their broker. It’s about creating a moment of truth early: do they take security seriously, or do they believe hiring an MSP makes them invincible?

If you're an MSP attending Right of Boom and you want a practical gut-check on your contracts and coverage, this is one of the highest ROI sessions you can sit through. Join us Thursday, February 5, at 1:30pm PT in Room 350 or Friday, February 6, at 10:15 AM PT in Room 301.

ERIC TILDS ON UKON'S CYBER INSURANCE HOTCAKES

If you caught the Hotcakes episode with Eric Tilds, Will Brooks (UKON VP of Sales), and Andy Runyan (UKON Director of Strategic Alliances), you already know the tone. It was candid, MSP-first, and grounded in what actually happens when customers, carriers, and contracts collide. You can catch the replay here and read more at Risk & Reward.

DON'T MISS THIS MONTH'S CYBER PEACE OF MIND WEBINAR

Right of Boom is where we’ll talk about exposure. This month’s webinar is where we’ll go deep on the coverage that MSPs keep getting wrong.

DECODING TECH E&O: A GUIDE FOR MSPs AND THE AGENTS WHO INSURE THEM

Tech E&O is where the technical reality of an MSP meets the legal language of an insurance policy, and the mismatch can be expensive. This session is designed to fix that by giving MSPs and agents a shared map:

• How to audit your current Tech E&O for “fit”

• How to think about limits with real scenarios, not guesswork

• How agents can reduce their own E&O exposure by asking better technical questions

If you care about protecting your business, your book, and your reputation, you want both: the Right of Boom session for the liability landscape, and Cyber Peace of Mind for the Tech E&O deep dive.
