Building Forward:
Smarter Decisions in an Aging World
250 people. 4 sessions. 1 day that actually moves your thinking forward.
The Reliability Revolution: People-Powered Change for Asset Intensification
feat. James Reyes‑Picknell
In a time of aging infrastructure and growing operational pressure, James Reyes-Picknell brings a timely message for FM and AM leaders. Drawing from Steadfast: The Reliability-Driven Organization, James reframes reliability as a strategic advantage built through leadership, culture, governance, and people- not just maintenance systems or technology. With decades of industry experience, James offers practical insight on breaking reactive cycles and building stronger, more resilient organizations.
Navigating a Volatile Supply Chain in an Uncertain Economy
feat. Special Panel Guests
In today’s unpredictable economic climate, supply chain volatility continues to create significant challenges for operations, budgets, and long-term planning.
This panel discussion will explore the growing risks organizations face, the impact of ongoing disruption, and how leaders are adapting procurement and operational strategies to manage uncertainty and maintain continuity.
Quiet Leadership in Facilities: The Influence FMs Don’t Realize They Have
feat. Marcia O'Connor
Facility Managers are the hidden force behind every successful organization. While their work often happens behind the scenes, they drive safety, resilience, financial performance, and operational continuity every day. This engaging topic shines a light on the strategic value of FM professionals, challenging outdated stereotypes and showing why Facility Managers are not just problem-solvers- but essential leaders shaping the future of the built environment.
Sustainable and Healthy Buildings: Why they Matter
feat. To be Announced!
Sustainability and healthy buildings are becoming an increasingly important priority for organizations seeking to reduce costs, improve facility performance, support occupant well-being, and advance environmental goals.
In this session, attendees will hear directly from organizations as they share how they are approaching sustainability within their facilities, the challenges and opportunities they are navigating, and the practical steps they are taking to create more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible spaces.
