Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) Agenda Announced!

August 13, 2025 By Building Potential staff

The agenda for the 2025 Smart Buildings Exchange Fall Conference is now available on the SBX website. The event will feature a keynote address, two panel discussions and a networking happy hour – register to join us in Seattle on November 5th!

Keynote Address: PNW Leadership on the National Stage
Ash Awad
, President & Chief Market Officer at McKinstry, will deliver a compelling keynote address highlighting how the Pacific Northwest is uniquely positioned to lead the US through the energy market transformation.

Two engaging panel discussions will follow, and the event will conclude with a networking happy hour, sponsored by Building Potential.

State of Buildings – what’s working, what’s not
Building owners and operators are facing a convergence of challenges—rising costs, growing decarbonization expectations, aging infrastructure, workforce shortages, cybersecurity threats, and evolving occupant needs. In this panel discussion, leaders from both the public and private sectors will share their candid perspectives on the current state of the industry: what’s working, what’s stuck, and what kinds of solutions they need most.

Innovation Showcase: Smarter, Safer, More Responsive Buildings
This panel will feature four rapid presentations, each highlighting how smart strategies are solving different performance challenges—from energy and emissions to security and space use.
