The ASCII Group, the vendor-neutral community for managed service providers (MSPs) in North America, has unveiled the speaker lineup for its highly anticipated ASCII Edge 2026 conference series. This multi-city event is designed to empower MSP business owners through peer-driven education, hands-on workshops and community engagement.
Scheduled to take place in eight cities across the United States and Canada, ASCII Edge 2026 aims to foster in-person learning and candid discussions among MSPs. The series reflects The ASCII Group’s decades-long commitment to supporting the MSP community with practical insights and real-world expertise.
The 2026 conference will feature keynote addresses from James Gadomski, a shipwreck treasure hunter and History Channel personality, and Carolyn April, vice president of research and market intelligence at GTIA. In addition to these high-profile speakers, the event will include sessions led by industry experts and experienced ASCII member MSPs. Notable speakers include Emily Tell of IdeaTilt, Wayne Hunter of Avtek Solutions, and Joe Rojas of Start Grow Manage, who will cover topics such as AI adoption, revenue strategies, and market differentiation.
The program also includes interactive workshops and peer discussions. One highlight is a Day 1 workshop presented by Kaseya, which will focus on helping MSPs leverage underutilized marketing development funds to drive measurable pipeline results. Additional workshops are expected to be announced in the coming months.
“ASCII Edge has always been about bringing the right people into the room,” said Jerry Koutavas, CEO of The ASCII Group. “When MSPs come together to share openly and learn from one another, they gain clarity and confidence in the decisions they’re making. That’s what ASCII Edge is designed to deliver.”
