Buildings 2.0 - Driving a Vision for Connected Buildings

9:00 - 12:00

Following the Cisco Connected Roundtable in Dubai during BuilConn Middle East, the focus of the morning session in Chicago is firstly to be acquainted with the vision of Buildings 2.0, and then to have an industry discussion on how such a vision should be deployed to all of the stakeholders involved with buildings.

The session, led by key individuals from Cisco and BuilConn will be held in a Town Meeting format, with a number of leaders sought to provide perspectives and the attendees be involved with discussions. This interactive format is in keeping with the themes of Buildings 2.0, being a development by the industry for the industry.

This session is a not-to-be-missed event in the furtherance of convergence of Buildings and IT, as well as the new ways building owners and the industry will look at buildings in the future.

Presenters:

Buildings 2.0 - 360 Degree Look at Connected Buildings

13:00 - 16:00

Buildings 2.0 can only evolve into a norm if all the stakeholders involved with the building life cycle understand the vision, and adopt it as a way of thinking. The scope of stakeholders involved is broad, each with their own perspectives, expectations and well developed best practices.

From technology angles, to financial and contracting perspectives the leaders of this session will draw a complete picture of how buildings are designed, built and operated.

This session will look at all of these stakeholder groups, try to understand their roles and uncover the areas where Buildings 2.0 can be quickly adopted.
