Trinity House London
June 4th, 2026
More about the BIGSIG 2026
For the 2026 BIG SIG we will once again return to Trinity House London one of our favourite locations and a mainstay of BIG SIG events. Trinity House is a distinguished and historic venue that offers a uniquely elegant setting for BIG SIG.
Located near the Tower of London with views of the Thames, it combines maritime heritage with refined Georgian architecture, creating an atmosphere of gravitas and charm. As the headquarters of the Corporation of Trinity House, responsible for the safety of shipping and the welfare of seafarers, it houses centuries of nautical history, including portraits, ship models, and rare artifacts that lend character to its stately rooms.
The venue’s intimacy, prestige, and central location make it ideal for BIG SIG, where tradition meets modern professionalism.
Agenda coming soon.

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
As an affiliated member of Connect (the International Tandem User Group), BITUG ensures that British Isles NonStop users are represented globally. It connects regional expertise with international strategy and vendor engagement.
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.
