ASCII Edge 2026
Step Inside the ASCII Edge Conference Series
The Conference Series for MSPs Who Want Substance
ASCII Edge is our series of events that give managed service providers (MSPs) a place to step out of day-to-day service delivery and spend time on the decisions shaping their next stage of business growth.
This is not a general channel partners conference expo with a managed services label added on. The ASCII Edge 2026 conference series is built around the MSP community, with sessions and partner access designed for the people growing and improving MSP businesses every day.
Inside the ASCII Edge Experience
Keynote Sessions
ASCII Edge 2026 brings industry speakers into the room to address the issues shaping the MSP market now. Sessions focus on topics such as AI adoption, business model pressure, client expectations, and the partner ecosystem supporting MSP growth.
Educational Sessions
Our tailored educational sessions give attendees time to focus on specific areas of MSP business performance. Each city agenda is different, so attendees should use the location links to review the full schedule, session topics, and speakers before registering.
Peer Networking
The value sits heavily in the room itself. MSP owners can speak with people who understand the same pressures they face, giving attendees a way to compare what others are doing, what is changing, and what is worth paying attention to.
Vendor & Partner Access
MSP owners gain direct access to channel partners and technology vendors across the MSP partner ecosystem. Attendees can compare solutions, ask specific questions, and have more useful conversations than they get through a standard sales call.
Business-Focused Workshops
Workshops give attendees a more practical way to work through specific topics. These sessions are designed to help MSPs move from discussion into useful next steps. Workshop details vary by city and are listed on each local event page.
Community Events
ASCII Edge includes structured opportunities to meet other attendees throughout the event, including our closed-door, members-only meeting on day 1, where we discuss hot topics, issues encountered, vendors and tools, and other timely subjects.

Our Featured Keynote Speaker
Carolyn April, Vice President of Research and Market Intelligence at GTIA, brings a research-led view of the channel to this year’s conference. Her keynote, Survive, Thrive, or Fade Out: AI’s Impact on Today’s MSPs, focuses on how AI is changing the way MSPs operate and create value for their customers.
This session is built around exclusive findings from the ASCII and GTIA AI Readiness in the Channel research. For MSP owners, the value is in seeing how AI readiness is being measured across the channel, where providers are making progress, and where the gaps may affect their business.
Why ASCII Edge Belongs on Your Calendar
Compare What Other MSPs are Doing
MSP leaders rarely get useful perspective by looking only at their own business. ASCII Edge creates space to hear how other providers are thinking about pricing, staffing, service delivery, client expectations, vendor choices, security, and growth.
Step Outside the Daily Firefight
Owning an MSP can make it hard to look beyond the next operational issue. This conference gives owners and leaders time to focus on the business itself. Here, you can think, listen, ask better questions, and test assumptions against people facing similar decisions.
Meet the Partner Ecosystem in One Place
A strong MSP business depends on the right partner relationships. Here, channel partners, vendors, sponsors, and MSPs come together in one setting, making it easier to compare options and understand where the market is heading.
