The ASCII Group unveils 2026 ASCII Edge Conference Series: 'Where Community Builds Business'

The ASCII Group, the premier community for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across North America, has announced the full schedule for its 2026 ASCII Edge conference series. Under the theme "Where Community Builds Business," the eight-city tour will bring together over 1,500 MSPs, technology providers, and industry leaders to focus on education, peer collaboration, and actionable business strategies.

The vendor-neutral series, known for its practical, non-sales-focused content, is designed to help MSPs navigate current business challenges and achieve sustainable growth.

2026 ASCII Edge tour schedule

The ASCII Edge 2026 series will span eight North American cities over two days each, starting in February. The full schedule is as follows:

• Costa Mesa (CA) - February 25 & 26

• Dallas (TX) - March 25 & 26

• Newark (NJ) - April 22 & 23

• Seattle (WA) - May 27 & 28

• Washington D.C. - July 22 & 23

• Toronto (ON)  - August 26 & 27

• Chicago (IL) - September 23 & 24

• San Antonio (TX) - October 21 & 22

Peer-driven content and awards

A distinguishing feature of the ASCII Edge events is the emphasis on high-quality, relevant educational content. All vendor presentations are reviewed by the ASCII Edge Content Advisory Committee, which consists of experienced MSP members. This peer-review process ensures that sessions are focused on practical strategies and business enablement rather than just product sales.

"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 networking and solution pavilions, the 2026 events will host the annual ASCII Cup Awards, which recognize the top technology vendors that provide exceptional service and support to the MSP community throughout the year.

The full lineup of speakers, including the keynote, is expected to be announced later this fall.
