Two days with directors of plant operations, energy managers, chief engineers and data center operations directors from hospitals, data centers and campuses who own the building data: alarms nobody has time to chase, HVAC and cooling that run harder than they need to, and thin maintenance crews. Pre-scheduled 1-on-1 meetings. No expo hall.

“…the quality of people that were here and were willing to engage with Intel”
Past sponsorEric DoyleGlobal Director, IntelRead the whole quote
“In working with FMA Congresses I found they were very adaptable, very willing to fit my needs into the show. I was very pleased on how they helped me understand the clients that would be there and how I should adapt my presentation. It was a good way to get introduced to the people attending the Congress. I also liked the quality of people that were here and were willing to engage with Intel... a very good experience. This was the first time we worked with FMA Congresses and the first time we have done this type of event as Intel and I am looking forward to working with FMA on future shows.”

University of Iowa, Iowa saves $600,000 in six months with fault detection
Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Building Advisor powered by Clockworks Analytics: within six months, over 1,800 analyses, 600+ issues identified, 592 resolved and $600,000 in energy savings; 24% of quarterly work orders are now generated proactively (as reported by Clockworks Analytics)
The problem: Facilities staff were stuck responding to equipment failures and comfort complaints across 2.7 million sq ft, and an in-house fault detection attempt fell short.
