Once a year, we gather thousands of our Acumatica Community members (and those future customers interested in joining the Community) to our annual Summit. Our unwavering effort to create a wide-ranging experience that helps us build a strong, resilient Community centered around our award-winning cloud ERP solution has not gone unnoticed.

The Globee® Awards recognized our Summit as the “Event of the Year” for our “unprecedented sense of community” in 2023, and three years later, we’re still going strong. Acumatica Summit 2026 at the state-of-the-art Seattle Convention Center—Summit Building (January 25-28) is shaping up to be yet another outstanding community-building and knowledge-filled event.

As always, Summit will  fit a full week’s worth of learning into three days, with an abundant  Agenda  of do-not-miss events, like our annual Hackathon, Keynote sessions, and  engaging  social get-togethers. But it’s our more than 70 breakout sessions that we’re putting the spotlight on today, specifically those tailored to attendees with a background in  construction .

State of the Construction Industry

The construction industry helps build the foundations of our lives, from the homes we live in and the stores we shop at to the buildings we work in and the roads we drive on. According to construction executive search firm The Birmingham Group, this vital industry is poised for growth and transformation. “Global construction output is forecast to grow by 3.3% in 2026, underscoring the momentum of modernization.”

The Birmingham Group believes digitalization is the key to the industry’s ability to transform, noting that digital tools are essential for project scheduling, collaboration, and risk management.

Acumatica has focused on addressing these essential needs with our ERP Software for Construction —  an end-to-end solution that keeps projects on track, helping our construction customers improve profitability, collaboration, execution, change management, and customer satisfaction all in one place. Now, with the updates found in Acumatica 2025 R2, including those to document management and KPIs along with significant time-entry improvements, our construction software has gotten even better.

Acumatica Summit 2026 Breakout Sessions for Construction Professionals

During Acumatica Summit 2026, attendees will have opportunities to learn how our latest update can help their businesses achieve even greater success via their choice of construction-related breakout sessions. They’ll also have opportunities to dive deep into our comprehensive software’s many features and benefits.

Let’s look at some of these breakout sessions, which we’ve divided into three different categories: Immersive (scenarios of common business challenges and how to alleviate the pain points through Acumatica); Informative (a look at industry trends and Acumatica product details); and Interactive (exchange of ideas, opinions, and information in a panel or workshop format).

Immersive

Project Billing: Bill Smarter, Close Faster with New Reports and Interactive WIP — Billing and WIP closure are cornerstones of the project lifecycle—ensuring cash flow and providing a true picture of each project’s profitability. Using a new set of project financial reports, this session will dive into various billing scenarios, including combinations of Time and Materials (T&M) and Progress Billing, easy project invoice correction, invoice review, and paid and retained balances for specific dates. Attendees will also learn how to easily complete the typical month-end WIP closure process with Acumatica’s brand new interactive WIP adjustment process.

Informative

Connected Construction: Driving Efficiency and Awareness Between the Jobsite and Back Office — While keeping construction projects healthy is complex, it doesn’t have to be so hard. This session will showcase how Acumatica empowers project managers with real-time insights to quickly see where financials stand each day and know whether budgets are on track. Presenters will also highlight how jobsite information (like daily field reports, RFIs, and safety reports) flows seamlessly into the back office—eliminating delays, reducing manual entry, and ensuring everyone is working from the same data. Attendees will learn, from a real customer example, how Acumatica drives faster decisions, stronger collaboration, and smarter project performance from field to finance.

Interactive

Construction in Action: Real-World Demopalooza for Streamlined Operations — In this popular, interactive session, attendees will see firsthand how construction industry customers use Acumatica to manage and execute daily business tasks. Presenters will also provide engaging demonstrations of features built to give users a 360° view of their operations.

Overcoming Challenges, Growing Success at Acumatica Summit 2026

Though the construction industry is projected to experience transformational growth, construction firms are still facing mounting challenges, including labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, and time-consuming manual processes. Fortunately, construction professionals can overcome these challenges with modern construction software, like Acumatica Construction Edition.

Cassie Moore, Chief Financial Officer, Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing Inc., tapped Acumatica’s advanced construction application to replace the company’s constantly crashing multi-tenant legacy system that wasn’t SOX compliant, which required them to manually calculate and prepare reports. With Acumatica, they automated complicated processes, increased visibility into every aspect of the business, and accessed real-time, updated data.

“The data is complete, accurate, and timely,” the team says. “It allows us to quickly gain insights on jobs, which has been eye-opening for our field staff in helping them manage projects effectively. In our view, there isn’t a better product out there for a specialty construction subcontractor than Acumatica’s Construction Edition.”

For those working in the Construction industry, Acumatica Summit 2026 is the place for you to discover how Acumatica’s cloud ERP solution can improve your business performance in today’s highly competitive and digital-centric economy.
