The ASCII Group, a North American vendor-neutral community for MSPs, announced its speaker lineup for ASCII Edge 2026, a multi-city conference series designed to support MSP business owners through peer-driven education and community engagement.
The conference series will be held in eight cities in the United States and Canada, beginning February 25-26 in Costa Mesa, Calif. The events will feature “in-person learning, candid discussion and practical insight rooted in real-world experience,” officials said. The series concludes Oct. 21-22 in San Antonio.
The 2026 series will feature keynote presentations from James Gadomski, a shipwreck treasure hunter and History Channel personality, as well as Carolyn April, VP of research and market Intelligence at GTIA.
The speaker lineup also includes sessions from industry leaders and ASCII member MSPs, including Emily Tell of IdeaTilt and Wayne Hunter of Avtek Solutions, alongside Joe Rojas of Start Grow Manage. The sessions will cover AI adoption, revenue strategy and market differentiation, officials said.
Conference programming will also include hands-on workshops and peer discussion, including a Day 1 workshop focused on helping MSPs turn underused marketing development funds into measurable pipeline results. Additional workshops will be announced.
“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.”
