ABOUT THE EVENT

Why Attend Sol/Con 2026

Shape the future of your organization from where you stand
Sol/Con is where presales professionals come together to trade real-world strategies, learn from the best, and spark ideas that move their teams forward. Across two days of workshops, panels, and connection, you’ll gain practical insights you can apply immediately, from running smarter discovery calls and building influence with stakeholders to measuring success in new, meaningful ways.

You’ll also see how top presales organizations are embracing innovation, using data, AI, and collaboration to work faster, deliver stronger outcomes, and align more closely with their customers. And beyond the sessions, you’ll connect with peers who truly understand the challenges of modern technical selling, building relationships that last long after the event ends.

Walk away inspired, equipped, and ready to elevate your impact, wherever you are in your presales journey.
