Room A
The Question is "What's it Worth?" Not What's it's Cost?"
E. W. Dovel; VP Public Sector Sales; Orion Energy Systems, Inc.
Facility Managers face tighter budgets, hiring and retainage challenges, and increasing workloads. Technology is supposed to make things seamless and legislation is making legacy systems impossible to maintain. Our favorite, 100% effective maintenance strategy is run to fail. We default to cost as the main evaluation component and it is rarely the best option. This session will illustrate the important attributes that establish value and the importance of life cycle costing. You will also learn a simple technique to evaluate the vendors that will also save you time and money.

Room B
How to Secure Your Building or Facility & Upgrade Your
Technology
Baran Schultz; CEO / Owner; Schultz Technology
This session will educate & remind attendees about the importance of Cybersecurity. We will review numerous stories of building owners & facility managers who assumed nothing would happen since they were small. Then, after they were hacked, wished they had understood the importance & value of their data beforehand. Upgrading vulnerable technology can protect your building's or facility's systems. The question always is, how much is your information and data worth to you?

Room C
Litigation Risk and Reality in Construction Engineering
James Gallagher; Principal; Resolution Construction Management
When a construction project is not up to acceptable standards or is a potentially dangerous environment to entrants, litigation and disputes often arise. James’ talk covers the various legal challenges that he navigates in the construction and engineering fields. He will first introduce the audience to litigation in the context of construction engineering, then will discuss valuable insight, tips, and trends on avoiding, minimizing, or resolving issues that may evolve during the design and construction process. Specifically, James will touch on understanding contracts, navigating regulatory compliance, and pro-active risk management strategies.
