BIG University Will Be Back in 2027

April 19 – 21, 2027 | Charlotte, NC

Same practical, no-nonsense IT and cybersecurity education you’ve come to expect. Same accessible format. Now with more sessions, more experts, and more ways to improve your IT stack and improve your security posture.

Here’s What’s Changing

BIG University is taking a year off in 2026. We’re using this time to combine BIG University with Elevate, our Vista/Trimble Construction One user conference, into one unified event. Starting April 19–21, 2027, at the Omni Hotel in Charlotte, NC, that event carries the name you already know: BIG University.

This isn’t a replacement. It’s an expansion. Everything you loved about BIG University is still here, plus a lot more.

Still Built for Businesses Like Yours

We get it: “combining with a Vista conference” can sound like code for “getting bigger and less relevant to you.” That’s not what’s happening.

BIG University 2027 is organized into session tracks, so you build your own schedule from the content that matters to you. If you’re not a Vista or Trimble Construction One user, you’ll never be stuck in a room that isn’t speaking to your business. Our commitment to accessible, practical, non-enterprise-level content isn’t going anywhere. It’s the foundation the whole event is built on.

Your Questions, Answered

Is this going to turn into a Vista-only event? No. BIG University’s IT and cybersecurity content isn’t a side note, it’s a core track built specifically for businesses that aren’t using Vista or Trimble Construction One.

What will it cost? Pricing details are still being finalized. We’ll share them as soon as they’re set. Join the notification list below to be the first to know.

Where and when is it? April 19–21, 2027, at the Omni Hotel in Charlotte, NC.

What happened to BIG University in 2026? We paused BIG University for one year while we built this combined format the right way, rather than rush a merger. 2027 is the payoff.
