SBX 2026 Keynote Announcement & Early-Bird Deadline (8/15)

August 7, 2026 By Building Potential staff

We’re excited to announce our SBX Day 2 Opening Keynote “Accelerating Performance at the Speed of Innovation”

Megan Owen, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Markets at McKinstry, will deliver an opening keynote that focuses on the changing landscape for building owners and managers and how cost pressure, resilience, risk, security, operational complexity, and AI are reshaping expectations for smart buildings.

Megan’s insightful strategic approach is defined by never-ending curiosity and the ability to visualize and champion development and direction for McKinstry and its clients. With a focus on market strategy across all McKinstry operations, Megan’s experience and leadership have led to complex high-profile projects and advancements in climate and energy policy across the country. By establishing and strengthening market strategy, sales enablement, marketing and government affairs, Megan has shaped McKinstry’s go-to-market approaches to ensure success and client satisfaction.

Prior to joining McKinstry, Megan served as former Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire’s director of King County outreach. In this role, she united public and private entities around common interests. Her passion for stakeholder engagement and removing climate harm from the built environment is shared beyond McKinstry through nonprofit support and service. She currently serves on the board of directors of the NW Energy Coalition.

Stay tuned for more exciting speaker announcements soon!

The early-bird registration deadline is August 15th. Register now to join us at the event on November 9th & 10th and save!
