The next wave: AI, technology adoption, and the future of facilities operations
Tuesday September 15, 2026 1:15pm - 2:00pm EDT
Majestic Palm ABCD
Over the last century, buildings have evolved and benefited from wave after wave of technology: electrification, mechanical cooling, computerized digital controls, LED lighting, and on-site renewables. Each wave brought new promises and new efficiencies, but also new costs and new compliance requirements. AI is the latest wave, but the underlying challenge remains the same: How do facility and energy professionals evaluate what's worth adopting, when to act, and how to stay ahead in an industry that's constantly evolving?

This panel brings together facility and energy pros to have an honest, practical conversation about what's working, what may be overhyped, and what the next wave of technology adoption really means for building performance and operations.
