Build It by ITBD

Build It by ITBD BUILD IT LIVE is an annual three-day conference designed by an MSP for MSPs. To constantly learn, innovate, and improve is vital to success.

It is the only education-focused MSP channel event where attendees walk away with 60+ editable tools, templates, and processes to implement immediately. Our online university is a 3-tier, membership-based community focused on MSP business excellence through educational content, shared best practices, and peer-to-peer accountability. As economic landscapes continue to evolve, it is those business l

eaders who challenge themselves—and their peers—to innovate, accelerate, and bring passion to their companies who will succeed. Our university offers fresh, relevant, forward-thinking courses, focused on nine essential business topics and delivered by industry experts. Each course aligns with a variety of actionable templates, engaging blogs and podcasts, and other content relevant to today’s MSPs. At Build IT University, we’ll bridge the gap between knowledge and MSP success.

Most MSP events leave you with ideas. Build IT LIVE leaves you with a plan.

Three days. Four tracks. 500+ MSP leaders. 92% C-suite.

Every session is focused on the decisions that will determine where your business goes next:

AI and the Future of the MSP - From building an AI roadmap to agentic workflows, governance, and where automation actually improves your bottom line.

Leadership - Mindset, delegation, financial literacy, burnout, and building a business that runs without you.

Operations and Profitability - Margin visibility, service delivery models, staffing, NOC decisions, and the KPIs that actually tell you if your MSP is healthy.

Growth, Sales and Business Value - Pricing, churn, PE readiness, acquisitions, and selling to the C-suite.

Plus a full Day 3 AI Accelerator: hands-on build time with n8n, Rewst, and Microsoft Copilot. You leave with production-ready automations and a 90-day plan.

The command-and-control models that defined leadership for decades are giving way to something different: greater authenticity, stronger self-awareness, and a deeper focus on helping people reach their full potential.

At Build IT LIVE 2026, Tami Chapek joins the speaker lineup, bringing more than 25 years of experience across leadership coaching, performance management, operations, and communications.

As Founder and Head Coach of WeInspireWe, Tami has worked with leaders from organizations including Google, Delta, Uber, and Novartis, helping individuals develop the skills, confidence, and clarity needed to lead more effectively in today's environment.

She is also the author of Leadership reDEFYned, a framework designed to help leaders rethink traditional approaches to leadership and embrace more authentic growth.

Her perspective reflects a leadership reality many organizations are navigating today. Success isn't just about results anymore. It's about who you bring with you.

Most MSP operators leave AI workshops with a notebook full of ideas and the same stack they walked in with.

This is different. Day 3 at Build IT LIVE is built around one critical question: what can you actually ship before the week is out?

The AI Accelerator is a full working day.

It opens with a keynote, moves into an AI panel with practitioners already doing it, then gives you three working sessions to build it.

You leave with 10 production-ready automations running inside your actual stack. n8n, Rewst, Microsoft Copilot, your PSA and RMM. A Customer Zero plan. A 90-Day Launch Plan that turns internal AI into client revenue.

No slides to review later. No concepts to figure out on your own.

The best part? The AI Accelerator is already included in your Build IT LIVE registration.

Very few people inside the MSP industry have experienced the market from every side of the table.

The Build IT LIVE stage has hosted John C. Maxwell, Dan Sullivan's Unique Ability training with Shannon Waller, Gary Pica, and NAVY SEAL training delivered by the operators themselves.

And that's not even half the story.

Every year, MSP leaders leave with more than they came in with. More clarity. More capability. More peers who get it.

This year, we have five distinct tracks across three days, built around everything that matters most to MSP operators right now: AI, Operations, Leadership, Growth, and Life by Design.

And on Day 3, ideas become implementation.

The AI Accelerator is where strategy turns into workflows, roadmaps, and real-world ex*****on.

We will close with a Great Gatsby Party at the New York Stock Exchange. Because the work this community does deserves a special night to celebrate your efforts.
