eBITUG 2027
Welcome back to Dublin!
April 20th - April 24th 2027
Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, D04 A318
Our decision to return to Dublin reflects the quality and price of the facilities provided by the Clayton. The cost and ease of travel from the UK, Europe, Asia, Middle East and the USA to Dublin and additionally that our event here, eBITUG 2025 went so well..
That said, this will be our last visit to Dublin for a while so ensure you sign up to be part of this uniquely BITUG experience.
Dublin's "Silicon Docks" has become a central tech hub, attracting global giant like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft also successful start-ups such as Stripe and Intercom. Its strategic location between the US and Europe, a highly skilled workforce from top universities, and supportive government policies with low corporate taxes have fostered this growth. This combination of history, community, and technology make Dublin the perfect host city for eBITUG 2027.
User training starts early on Tuesday 20th April 2027 so guests should get to Dublin on Monday for Tuesdays early start. And as you will be here on the Monday make sure you drop into the Early Bird Welcome social event in the Clayton VIP bar from 18:00 hosted by NTI.

What is BITUG?
Independent Voice for HPE NonStop Users
BITUG represents the collective interests of Tandem / HPE Nonstop users across the British Isles. As an independent, member-led organisation, it provides a unified voice in response to industry developments while maintaining a constructive working relationship with HPE.
Technical Knowledge & Peer Collaboration
Through Special Interest Groups (SIGs), technical forums, and education days, BITUG enables members to exchange practical expertise on systems management, security, resilience, and strategic Nonstop topics. It fosters real-world knowledge sharing between practitioners.
International Representation & Influence

Community-Driven & Non-Profit Governance
Founded in 1984, BITUG is the largest Nonstop user group outside the United States. It operates as a volunteer-run, non-profit organisation governed by an annually elected committee, ensuring it remains member-focused and independent.
