Based on your feedback from EDGE 2025, we’ve made exciting changes to the format this year, giving you more of what you loved, and new ways to learn, connect, and grow.

Thursday |
Pre-Conference Workshops

NEW FORMAT! Kick off EDGE with two blocks of immersive, hands-on workshops the day before the full conference begins. These extended sessions are your chance to sharpen skills and dive deep into training.

NEW! Select Pre-Conference Workshop sessions qualify for certification. Certification opportunity is only available to EDGE attendees!

Friday & Saturday |
Main Conference Sessions

NEW! Two full days of can't-miss content. Dive into a dynamic agenda packed with sessions designed for every role and skill level in your practice. From big-picture strategy to practical, hands-on takeaways, you’ll find insights that make an immediate impact.

COMING SOON! Preliminary agenda. We will continue to add more sessions for you to explore leading up to EDGE—so check back often!

*REVIEW THE AGENDA CLOSELY!

Some of our technical, product-specific trainings that had been main conference sessions have been converted to Pre-Conference Workshops this year.
