Build IT LIVE
August 3-5, 2026
The era of Managed Intelligence is here. Join MSP owners and leaders for three days of practical strategy, peer learning, AI implementation, and business transformation.
Test your thinking before making the decision.
Bring real challenges into an optional AI-Driven MSP Leaders Peer Group and pressure-test your assumptions with MSP owners and C-suite leaders.
Understand the larger AI shift.
Step away from the demands of today and understand how AI is reshaping leadership, talent, service delivery, profitability, client value, and the MSP business model.
Turn vision into priorities.
Translate the larger shift into clear decisions for operations, growth, governance, talent, leadership, and go-to-market.
Create the plan your team can run.
Spend a full day in the BUILD IT LIVE AI Accelerator Workshop turning your priorities into a documented 90-day implementation roadmap.

The New York Experience

Pre-event networking with the Manhattan skyline as your backdrop.

August 5
August 5, 7:00 to 9:00 PM · 11 Wall Street. A Great Gatsby-inspired closing celebration.
Build IT LIVE 2026 closes at the New York Stock Exchange in Great Gatsby style. The kind of evening that fits the room you spent three days in.
The NYSE Trading Floor reception submissions are now closed. If you'd like to be in the room for 2027, early registration is opening soon.
Every day has a purpose. Keynotes, sessions, hands-on trainings, and peer connections.
Be in the room when the boldest ideas come to life.
A full day inside a curated peer group. Owners and operators trading numbers, problems, and what's actually working.
Day 1 opens with back-to-back keynotes and mainstage panels. Three breakout slots, 12 sessions across four tracks running through the afternoon, setting the strategic frame for everything that follows. When the sessions wrap, the group moves into the Solutions Pavilion for a Pub Crawl.
The most tactical day of the three. Eight breakout slots, thirty-two breakout sessions across four tracks, built for operators who want to go deep on a specific problem rather than sample broadly. Pick one track and stay in it, or jump between sessions as the agenda pulls you. That evening, small-group hosted dinners across the city.
The full-day AI Accelerator training. Build and test AI workflows in your actual stack and leave with production-ready templates.
