About The Event

This informative and engaging conference is designed to advance participants’

knowledge, technical competence, asset planning skills, and property management

toolkit across a wide range of topics related to building systems, equipment, and

materials. Content applies to all building types—residential, commercial, industrial, and

institutional—of varying sizes and construction types. Attendees will gain practical insight

into how occupied buildings are operated, assessed, and maintained through their full life

cycle.

The conference is ideal for professionals currently assessing or reviewing buildings,

those considering a career in the field, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of

how building projects are planned and executed. This includes engineers, technologists,

architects, inspectors, reserve planners, appraisers, quantity surveyors, and property

managers. Sessions will explore how building systems and equipment are repaired,

renewed, replaced, retrofitted, rehabilitated, or modernized, while also addressing

project scope, consulting disciplines, allowances, contingencies, costs, timelines, and

impacts on occupants and building access.

Start your conference experience with a dedicated networking breakfast

and multiple opportunities throughout to meet peers, industry leaders, and

building professionals. Whether you're new to the field or an established

expert, you'll build meaningful relationships that support your ongoing

professional growth.

Hear from knowledgeable guest speakers, panelists, and session leaders

who will share valuable insights. From residential to commercial and

institutional environments, participants will expand technical competence

and gain practical knowledge in asset planning and building assessment.

Engage directly with event sponsors to discover innovative tools, services,

and solutions that support your work. You'll leave with new ideas, resources,

and partnerships that strengthen your professional practice.
