“ASCII Edge is built by MSPs, for MSPs,” said Jessie Devine, VP of Channel Development, The ASCII Group. “Our education-focused sessions give MSPs strategies they can act on, while vendors gain meaningful engagement with a community that values trusted partnerships.”
In addition to peer-driven programming, ASCII Edge 2026 will feature collaborative networking, a solution pavilion with leading technology partners, and the annual ASCII Cup Awards, which recognize the top vendors serving the MSP community.
