Traditionally, Building Automation Systems (BAS) have evolved from the control of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC). Building automation is employed to integrate user requirements, system requirements and optimizations in order to maintain user comfort with energy efficiency. These systems are now becoming IT-centric with all of the evolving intelligence and information integration. This trend provides the benefits of increased energy savings, improved occupant comfort, operator efficiency and the elimination of redundant systems.
When was the last time you "Upgraded Your Access Control"? Is Your Facility Safe? 1. Are you protected against card Cloning? 2. Are you secured against credential tampering? 3. Are you using Weigand, in use since the 80's, an unsupervised communication protocol. 4. What do you know about Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP), bidirectional communication, authentication, FIPS compliance and AES-128 encryption. 5. Are your door controllers on the secure side of the door, or on the unsecure side accessible to everyone 6. Learn about the vulnerabilities of your Physical Access Control System (PACS). Securing your access control continues to be a moving target and is only as strong as its weakest link
Wisenet AI cameras detect and classify people, vehicles, faces, license plates and more in real-time. With a range of available resolutions from 2MP to 4K, the cameras’ deep-learning algorithms can reliably identify multiple distinct objects. Reduce false alarms due to none interesting motion, like wind-blown trees, shadows, or animals. Analytics become a reliable second pair of eyes to operators helping them know where to look for important real-time events, while making post-event forensic searches highly efficient.
This presentation will focus on how using data captured, developed and shared from proven Building Information Modeling and Management techniques can improve operating results, including increasing efficiencies and lowering costs.
Energy and facility management are two of the biggest drivers of cost, risk, and efficiency for businesses. In this session we will explore smarter, more proactive ways to approach both. We’ll cover how to build customized energy plans, leverage our reverse auction platform, Procure, and stay informed on market movement and contract language to secure the best electric and natural gas pricing while avoiding hidden fees and unfavorable terms. We'll also dive into nine proven ways facility services can pay for themselves by cutting expenses, boosting performance, and helping leaders spot and address risks before they become costly problems. Walk away with practical strategies to make informed decisions, mitigate risk, and unlock substantial returns on your operations budget.
Join us for a casual but compelling conversation about multi-site, multi-asset management strategies with real-life client anecdotes from Fortune 2000 companies, public entities and healthcare campuses across North America.
Facility Managers face tighter budgets, hiring and retainage challenges, and increasing workloads. Technology is supposed to make things seamless, and legislation is making legacy systems impossible to maintain. Our favorite, 100% effective, maintenance strategy, is run to fail. We default to cost as the main evaluation component, and it is rarely the best option. This session will illustrate the important attributes that establish value and the importance of life cycle costing. You will also learn a simple technique to evaluate the vendors that will also save you time and money.

Thank you for the opportunity to network with all the vendors and other industry professionals. The summit was rewarding - I met a few vendors that I will be reaching out to for proposals to get work done in my facility. The entire program was well organized and educational.
Director of Engineering – Marriott InternationalIt was a nice change of pace to have individual time with the vendors and have the opportunities for the vendors to understand our business and our needs before they provided their pitch. The social components were great. There was a great deal of engagement from both vendors and attendees.
Director, Property Solutions – FirstService ResidentialI wanted to thank you for a great event. I experienced a much higher level of interest in qualified buyers/influencers. Several partner opportunities were identified in addition to National/Corp direct opportunities.
Business Development Manager – Delta ControlsI will say this process of meeting with the vendors is much more personalized than any trade show I have attended. The vendors were very informative and having the one-on-one time let them focus more on our particular needs. The meetings were timed just about right. The location of the venue was perfect, the food options were great. You and your team did a great job, very impressive!
Facility Manager – Georgia College & State UniversityThank you for including me in the FM Solutions & Security Strategies Summits. I learned a lot and have offered a contract to one vendor to bid on for about 600K to 800K. I will be working with 3 other of your vendors. I really enjoyed the Omni and the casino night. Keep me on your list for future summits.
Property Manager – Plaza at Five PointsI liked the format. I liked the one on one. It was better than a mob of people walking past a table or trying to get a vendor reps undivided attention when that rep needs to get to as many people as possible. This format really alleviated the pressure on both ends (customer and vendor).
Director of Facilities & Security – MassBay Community CollegeThe Summit was very informative and also well set up. This was my first experience with something like this. Sumter County is pleased to say that every vendor that we met with could possibly be used by us in the future. The exchange of information was really great. A great way to expand your network and find solutions from those folks.
Senior Chief of Facilities and Maintenance – Sumter County Public SchoolsThis was a great event that started with the greet and meet, and the next 2 days were seminars and one on one meetings with vendors along with networking between building owners and managers. The time was spaced out enough between meetings, seminars, and lunch where you’re not feeling rushed. The event had nice accommodations, hotel, food, casino night, vendors, seminars, and networking.
Facilities Superintendent – City of MurphyI wanted to share that the seminar was a great success. It was professionally structured, highly informative, and had a strong turnout. There were numerous vendors onsite, and I was able to speak with several of them in one-on-one sessions about potential future services and gain valuable insight into their products. The speaking engagements were excellent while packed with useful knowledge. Overall, the event was a tremendous success.
