Before the event we set the scene for "My next 50 years Keynote" with this interview

Episode 313 ControlTalk Now The Smart Buildings Podcast: The Power of Your People Network: Use it or Lose It!
April 29, 2019 by Eric Stromquist

They call it the networked economy for a reason.And yes connecting smart building and HVAC control systems is a big part of the networked economy. But what about connecting people? You can have the greatest control networks in the world but if you don’t have any people in your network to buy, sell, and help support your great technology, then you are just another broke smart person.

On this episode of ControlTalk Now, Ken Sinclair, owner-editor of automatedbuildings.com, helps us understand three theories to maximize our people networks:
 
1. separate and define your networks as different creative communities
 
2. Connect these different creative communities into strategic alliances
 
3. turn these communities into communities of practice.

And this article Connecting Creative Communities

The people and their communities have staying power—the technology does not.

Our May theme is Connecting Creative Communities

Part of my keynote at CONTROLS-CON "My Next 50 Years" ...Big Smile...will speak to my personal struggle with extending my "best by date" with the power of connection communities while learning how to grow younger via my younger mentors plus my amazing discovery that the past 50 years was not about the "technology" its changes, (pneumatic to AI), but all about the people and their communities because they are still here, and the latest and greatest technology of the time is not.
