Your 2-Day Playbook for Mission Critical Projects & Partnerships
In two focused days, mission-critical leaders compare what’s working across the Northeast,
while solution providers meet with them in guided 1:1 sessions to help solve operational
challenges and explore practical next steps.
37 summits, 17,000 plus private meetings and an 89 percent renewal rate.
Two days focused on useful conversations, practical next steps and long-term relationships.
Midwest Critical Facilities and Infrastructure Summit
October 20-22, 2026 · Hyatt Regency O'Hare · Chicago, Illinois
The same format in a different region. Facility leaders and solution providers from across the Midwest
come together for structured 1:1 meetings and working sessions on uptime, resilience and improvement
projects.
Solution providers select 20 / 30 / 40 meeting programs. Participation in each category
is capped so conversations stay focused and delegates are not overwhelmed.
Interest list now forming. Categories close once meeting programs are fully allocated.
Not another trade show. A working session for both sides.
Two days designed so every conversation is relevant: practical for delegates, productive for solution providers.
For facility, energy and resilience leaders
Replace scattered vendor calls and one-off visits with pre-screened solution providers that
match your facility type, geography and project scope. You leave with a short list, clearer options and a
realistic path forward.
For manufacturers and service providers
Instead of hoping the right people stop by a booth, you spend your time in
guaranteed private 1:1 discussions with directors, VPs and senior managers who asked to meet
you and are actively responsible for their sites.
Proven format
37 summits, 17,000 plus 1:1 meetings and an 89 percent renewal rate.
Delegates and partners come back because the format respects their time and leads to projects, pilots and
long-term collaborations.
How two days become your plan for the year
Simple structure. No noise. You know what these two days are for before you arrive at the hotel.
Step 1
Choose how you participate
Attend as a delegate responsible for mission critical facilities, energy or resilience — or
as a solution provider with a 20 / 300 / 40 meeting program that fits your team.
Step 2
Define what a useful two days look like
Share your priorities: decarbonization, microgrids, storage, HVAC, controls, lighting, monitoring,
redundancy, cost per kWh or regional expansion. We use this to match meetings and shape the agenda.
Step 3
Arrive with a structured schedule
Show up in Teaneck with a full calendar of 1:1 meetings, peer sessions and hosted discussions.
No wandering crowds — just a clear two-day plan that moves your work forward.

Not just badge scans. Ongoing conversations, projects and references that started in these rooms.
This is not a trade show. It is a room full of operators who protect uptime and budgets. In this short clip
two of them explains why the format works for them and why they keep taking meetings with our sponsors.
Delegate story · 2 minutes
“Quick hits. Real conversations. Sponsors worth talking to.”
The delegate likes this summit because it is simple. Short sessions. Tight room. Sponsors and speakers in
reach. They get the information they need and walk straight into the conversations that matter.
Northeast Critical Infrastructure and Optimization Summit
Your pipeline is in this room. Not in your CRM.
You can keep chasing these organizations one cold email at a time, or spend two days inside a mission critical
facilities summit where they are already seated, fed and ready to talk about real projects.
Real meetings. Real rooms.
