What is ASCEND?

ASCEND is Solver's annual customer and partner conference. It brings together accounting, finance, and business professionals who use the platform, along with partners in sales, marketing, and implementation. Sessions cover planning, budgeting, reporting, consolidation, and the AI capabilities that help finance teams accelerate intelligent decisions. 

What will ASCEND 2027 include?

ASCEND 2027 will include hands-on training, partner sessions, breakout sessions, and interactive stations, plus a reception. Lunches and snacks are included for the days of your ticket, and attendees can earn CPE credits. 

Agenda at a glance, training, and session details are coming soon. We'll announce the full schedule, speakers, Solver Academy training, partner programming, and CPE credit details in the coming weeks. Register now and you'll be the first to know when they go live.

Where is ASCEND 2027 held?

The gorgeous Ocean Cliffs at Dana Point, a JW Marriott Resort, which sits on the bluffs above Dana Point Harbor at 25135 Park Lantern, Dana Point, CA 92629. Attendees receive the discounted ASCEND rate of $299 per night. Book through the link in your registration confirmation email by July 23, 2027 to receive the rate, or until the block sells out.

How do I get there?

John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County is closest, about 24 miles (30 to 45 minutes). Long Beach (LGB) is about 45 miles, Los Angeles (LAX) about 60 miles and San Diego (SAN) about 66 miles. The resort has no shuttle, so plan on ride-share, taxi or a rental car. Amtrak and Metrolink stop nearby in San Juan Capistrano.

Discounted self-parking is $49 per day and valet is $60 per day. For things to do while you're in town, see the Visit Dana Point guide.

Do I need to bring a laptop?

If you plan to attend any of the hands-on training workshops, then yes. Bring your own laptop, but you must ensure that it meets Solver's system requirements. You can also pre-order a laptop rental during online registration for $250, or rent one on-site for $300, while supplies last. Contact ascend@solverglobal.com for more information on Solver's system requirements.
