Join the Leaders in the Intelligent Buildings & IoT Community at Haystack Connect 2021 – a Virtual Conference

By John Petze, Executive Director, Project Haystack, and Marc Petock, Executive Secretary, Project Haystack

Project Haystack is excited to announce its fifth biennial Haystack Connect conference will take place May 4 – 6, 2021. While the virtual format may be new this year, attendees can still expect the same quality technical program, driven by the Project Haystack community. Whether you are a building owner or operator, facilities manager, an integrator, or OEM, new to Haystack or an expert, this event is for you!

At its core, Haystack Connect provides a unique, open-forum for professionals involved in automation, control and the IoT to learn and share the latest technologies and techniques for connecting systems and utilizing device data in applications including intelligent buildings, energy management, remote monitoring, and other IoT devices and applications.

This year's event will feature an update on Haystack 4, which builds upon 10-years of work. That's right—2021 marks the 10th anniversary of Project Haystack's formation and 10-years leading the data tagging and modeling movement within the built environment.

To commemorate the occasion and allow the greatest number of people to attend, the Project Haystack Organization is making Haystack Connect 2021 free for all attendees. Mark your calendar and register now at www.haystackconnect.org to guarantee your spot. While you are on the website, be sure to check out the call for speakers and sponsorship opportunities—we encourage your active participation.

Haystack Connect is a true community-driven conference that will feature a stellar lineup of keynote presentations and technical sessions in addition to educational sessions on Haystack 4, Working Group meetings, and a reprise of the popular Haystack PitchFest. This fast-paced showcase of new products and services using Haystack technology (think "Shark Tank" for data) is always one of the highlights of the conference!

Data is critical to facility management and across all facets of society. The efficient and consistent application of data modeling is essential to achieving smarter, more efficient buildings and operational services. Join Project Haystack for Haystack Connect 2021 and be a part of the movement that has been propelling this industry forward for a decade.
