So… Insights 2026 Nashville is officially in the books.
And what a year it was.
This was a record-smashing Insights, with the largest attendance ever. More importantly, there was a real energy throughout the week. Even though I know some of you are still working through the smart client retirement, and others are still evaluating what the on-prem future means for your business, the overall tone I felt from so many of you was positive, engaged, and forward-looking.
That matters. A lot.
My only real regret this year is that I was scheduled too tightly. Over the six days I was there, starting Saturday, I had 38 scheduled events on my Insights calendar, not counting the normal breakfasts, lunches, dinners, hallway conversations, and everything else that happens during the week. I think I had about three open hours total.
I was fortunate to see several of you many times, including Randy, Alisa, Haso, Jose, Josh, and Brian. But there were many others I only saw from the stage, passed briefly in a hallway, or never managed to connect with at all.
I truly regret that.
One of the best parts of Insights is the chance to sit down with you, hear what is working, hear what is frustrating, talk through what is changing, and discuss where Kinetic needs to go next. Those conversations matter to me personally, and they matter to the product.
Hopefully next year I will have a little more open time to spend in the Solution Pavilion, shake more hands, hear more stories, and talk with more of you about your issues, concerns, successes, and ideas.
Thank you to everyone who attended, challenged us, encouraged us, and shared your perspective. We are listening. And together, we will keep making Kinetic better.
