1:40 pm - 2:20 pm CASE STUDY: Integrating IoT into Next Generation Facilities Management
Creating smart buildings where automated digital services are connected through IoT is the future of providing a personalised and improved user experience. This case study presentation will explore how integrating technology to utilise space, lighting, air quality and security can positively enable greater efficiency and reduce long-term costs.
- How measuring, analysing and automating services through IoT impacts a building and it’s occupants throughout a lifecycle
- Exploring the key challenges and differences of integrating IoT into a new building and an existing one
- Exploring the integration of IoT with Australia Post and the performance of FM as a result
2:20 pm - 3:00 pm PANEL: Exploring Whether Consolidating Contracts is the Most Effective Way to Improve Services and Cut Costs

Interactive Discussion Group (IDGs)
This is your chance to make your conference experience truly interactive and collaborative. Each IDG is set in a roundtable format and will be facilitated by an expert practitioner in the space. In two rotations, each IDG will last for 30 minutes, allowing you to pick the two topics you wish to discuss and solve.
Table One
4:10 pm - 5:10 pm What Is Innovation for FM Leaders and What Can It Produce?FM leaders can find themselves surrounded by buzzwords and sophisticated technology. This round-table will provide discussion around the realities of being an innovative FM leader, what really is happening, is it feasible adopt these innovations now and how it will change future FM operations.
Table Two
4:10 pm - 5:10 pm Leveraging Collected Data For Proactive Rather Than Reactive FM OperationsTechnology is allowing organisations to receive a flood of data and information, but how successful are we in analysing and utilising that data. Stagnant/dormant data can be a substantial challenge and finding the right resources to overcome this is challenge again.
Table Three
4:10 pm - 5:10 pm Obtaining Visibility and Maintaining a Source of Truth through an Outsourced Facilities Management ProviderAlthough the day to day operational decisions might be handed to your provider, how can you ensure the technology and the data being fed into the technology is current. How can you best monitor your portfolio, and keep up with legislation and regulation through a third party?
