Acumatica has posted the full agenda for Ascent 2026, its first partner-only event. The dates are August 17, 2026 through August 20, 2026 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort near Denver. This one is separate from the annual Summit. Ascent is built strictly for VARs, ISVs, and service and alliance partners, with more than 60 breakout sessions spanning presales, solution architects, consultants, developers, and practice owners. The lineup covers AI readiness for an Acumatica practice, vertical specialization, pre-sales-to-delivery handoffs, and hands-on sales-engineering labs. You can read Acumatica’s announcement here and browse the sessions on the agenda tab.
The timing is worth a closer look for anyone tracking the channel. Ascent went quiet for a stretch after the initial announcement, and the executive who would normally own a program like this is no longer in the building. CJ Boguszewski, Acumatica’s SVP of Partner Strategy and Programs, left shortly after the January 2026 Summit to become VP of Channels at Intuit. Acumatica has not named a successor. The role was previously posted and being recruited, reporting to the president and COO, but our sources indicate the position is no longer posted as open, so we may have news soon about who will lead Acumatica’s channel.
