Build IT LIVE 2026 Brings Hands-On AI Strategy for MSPs to Jersey City This August
Freehold, United States – July 19, 2026 / IT By Design /
JERSEY CITY, N.J. – July 24, 2026 – IT By Design has announced the full agenda for Build IT LIVE 2026, its annual education conference serving the managed services community, scheduled for Aug. 3-5 in Jersey City, New Jersey. The 2026 program is organized around a central question driving MSP conference 2026 planning: how to move artificial intelligence from early experimentation into a functioning growth engine for managed service businesses.
Build IT LIVE is structured around operator-led education, with MSP owners and executives sharing approaches they have tested and applied within their own operations. The 2026 agenda is organized into dedicated tracks covering Leadership, AI & Future, Sales & Growth, and Operations. The event concludes with a hands-on AI Accelerator day, giving attendees structured implementation frameworks they can put to work immediately following the conference.
The conference format prioritizes hands-on learning and direct experimentation over traditional slide-driven presentations. Sessions are designed for owners, C-suite executives, and senior operators. The 2026 program includes keynote sessions from industry figures including Zack Kass, former Head of Go-To-Market at OpenAI. The peer-community model extends beyond the event itself into IT By Design’s year-round programs, including the Build IT Mastermind community and quarterly AI Accelerator cohorts – resources that support a sustained AI strategy for MSPs beyond a single conference experience.
“We did not build this event to help people understand AI. We built it so they would walk out with a plan, a peer who has already done it, and a reason to actually run that plan the following Monday,” said Sunny Kaila, Founder & CEO of IT By Design.
The MSP conference 2026 arrives at a significant moment for the channel. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how managed services are priced, delivered, and sold, MSP leadership teams are evaluating summer events based on where they can develop a practical AI strategy for MSPs. Build IT LIVE’s operator-led faculty and hands-on format are designed to meet that need, and the Jersey City location places the event within reach of the broader New York metro technology market.
Registration and the full agenda are available at Build IT LIVE. Speaker announcements and event updates are published on the Build IT LIVE news page.
