Solver ASCEND 2026 runs August 17–20 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown Nashville. Four days, 52 sessions, 7 tracks, and a Welcome Honky Tonk night that has become one of the most anticipated moments on the Solver community calendar.
If you are deciding whether ASCEND belongs on your schedule this August, here are five programming areas generating the most interest among customers and partners ahead of registration.
1. Solver Copilot: AI in Action
The AI sessions at ASCEND 2026 are hands-on, not theoretical. Solver Copilot (available in the United States) brings together two agents built for finance workflows: the Help Agent, which answers product and application questions on demand, and the Analysis Agent, which handles anomaly detection, trend identification, root cause analysis, and predictive recommendations.
These sessions are designed for finance and operations teams who want to understand not just what the platform does today, but where AI-accelerated xFP&A is heading. Expect live demos, open Q&A, and a forward look at what is coming next on the product roadmap.
2. Hands-On Training: Foundational to Advanced
The first two days of ASCEND are dedicated to training. Workshops span the full spectrum, from users newer to Solver to advanced configurations most teams have not explored yet. Sessions cover planning, reporting, consolidation, and analysis in depth, with Solver consultants in the room to answer questions specific to your setup.
Two of the workshops on the schedule are only available at ASCEND. You will not find this content in any other training format.
Being in the room with Solver experts and peers facing the same challenges brings a depth of learning that online training cannot replicate: unscripted conversations, collaborative problem solving, and ideas that surface only when the right people are in the same space. Attendees consistently call the training days the highest-value part of the week. The skills you build on Monday apply directly to the work you do when you get home.
3. The Guru Bar and 1:1 Expert Access
One of the features unique to ASCEND is the 1:1 Consulting Meeting. These are dedicated sessions where attendees book time with Solver implementation and product experts to work through specific questions, model challenges, or configuration scenarios. This is not a support queue. It is structured time with someone who knows the platform deeply, focused entirely on your situation.
For finance teams who spend the year asking, "Could we be doing this differently?" the Guru Bar is where those questions get answered.
4. Partner Programming: Roundtables, Strategy, and a New Marketing Workshop
ASCEND 2026 features two dedicated partner days before the main conference begins.
Monday includes the Partner Implementer Roundtable, a full-day collaborative session for partners delivering Solver implementations, along with a new addition this year: the Partner Marketing Workshop. This half-day session is built specifically for partner marketers and covers customer-centric campaign strategy, xFP&A positioning, and how to align go-to-market efforts with Solver’s industry focus.
Tuesday brings the Partner Keynote from Solver leadership covering strategy, industry direction, and product roadmap, followed by sessions on proven approaches for growing your Solver practice. The day closes with a Partner Happy Hour before everyone joins the Welcome Honky Tonk.
5. The Keynote and Product Roadmap Preview
Wednesday morning opens with the ASCEND Keynote. It is Solver’s opportunity to share where the platform is heading and what customers and partners can expect in the year ahead. Attendees get the earliest look at upcoming features, enhancements, and strategic direction before anything goes public.
If you have ever wanted to influence the product roadmap or understand where your investment is going, this is the session to be in the room for.
The Venue: Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown Nashville
Embassy Suites by Hilton Downtown Nashville is a modern, all-suite hotel with complimentary breakfast, spacious rooms, and walking access to Nashville’s best restaurants, live music, and entertainment.
