I’ve been working closely with the programming team and together we have lined up a great list of speakers, all who are pushing the envelope on smart building initiatives in their organizations.
If you’re a traditional HVAC, IT, Lighting, Low Voltage, Security, AV or Smart Building integrator looking to expand your service offerings and meet the contemporary needs of today’s intelligent buildings, portfolios, campuses and cities, I strongly encourage you to attend this event.
The role of today's System Integrator (responsible for smart buildings) is changing before our eyes. This Summit is intended to help define what the System Integrator of the future looks like.
I look forward to meeting you in June.

AGENDA:
Defining a Smart, Connected, High-Performance Intelligent Building
Jim Young, President & Co-Founder, Realcomm | IBcon
The
building automation world has been around for a very long time. The
idea of instrumenting a building is nothing new. However, the next
generation of smart buildings, which are open, interoperable,
integrated and IP-centric offer a whole new set of opportunities and
challenges. Jim Young will provide an overview of what this next
generation of buildings, portfolios, campuses and even cities look like
and will discuss the business drivers and the technology that powers it.Smart Building Market Overview - What Does the Next Few Years Look Like?
Marc Petock, VP Marketing, Lynxspring, Inc. & Frank Rotello, President, Inside IQ
In
the history of the smart building marketplace, there has never been the
velocity of change that we are experiencing right now. Marc Petcok and
Frank Rotello will lead this session and discuss topics such as market
growth projections, technology/solution saturation, ROI strategies as
well as hiring and retention issues.What Do Customers Want? A Discussion with Major End Users
Eric Stromquist, VP, ControlTrends
As
the market changes, so does the expectation of clients. Previously,
conversations involved a local client talking about instrumenting a
function in a single building. Now, this same client has 100 buildings
across the country and wants to converge all the systems, analytics,
process automation and more. In this session, real estate, facilities
and IT executives from Microsoft, Forest City, Zurich and Related
Companies, will share what they want from system integrators.Building Automation Cyber-Security: Integrators Take Front and Center
Marty Edwards, Director, Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
There is no way you can avoid hearing about the issues surrounding
cyber-security today. High profile attacks and weekly news have brought
high visibility to this issue. With the bad guys having a distinct
advantage, the industry must find comprehensive and sophisticated
solutions, which places the systems integrator 'front and center'. This
segment will outline just how bad the problems are, and the systems
integrators role in addressing these issues.[an error occurred while processing this directive] A Fast Changing Market - Assessing Current Skills and Developing New Ones
Paul Oswald, President, Environmental Systems, Inc. (ESI)
With the building automation market changing at an rapid rate, it is
almost impossible for system integrators to keep pace. Advanced
technologies, business models, client organizational structures as well
as the complexities of learning to sell more sophisticated solutions
through a consultative approach are just some of the things system
integrators need to know. Paul Oswald, an industry leader who has
transformed his organization over the last 10 years, will lead this
session.Data, Data, Data - The Integrators Role in Delivering Data Centric Applications
John Petze, Principal, SkyFoundry
Nowadays, everywhere you look someone is talking about data...big and
small. In some cases, it is quite confusing and in others, too
complicated. That being said, there is no way that the system
integrator in today’s market can avoid it. An understanding of IT in
general databases, analytics (predictive & prescriptive),
visualization and advanced integration is quickly becoming the norm.
This segment will be run by John Petze, one of the pioneers in Big Data
in our industry.Visit http://www.ib-con.com/ for more information.
