Presentation Session Info
Topic: AI and Predictive Intelligence for Smarter Facilities
Time: Wednesday April 8th from 12-12:30 PM PT
Place: Innovation Arena
Content Summary
As facilities teams navigate rising operating costs, aging infrastructure, and evolving workplace demands, the role of maintenance is increasingly shifting from reactive support to a more strategic driver of performance.
This session will open a forward-looking discussion on how Johnson Controls is bringing together predictive maintenance, occupancy intelligence, energy management, and space planning to help reshape facility operations. We’ll explore what this connected approach means for facilities and maintenance leaders: how AI-enabled insights can influence work order prioritization, how occupancy patterns may affect system runtime and asset wear, and how energy optimization efforts align with long-term asset health.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how Johnson Controls is evolving its approach to integrated building performance, along with practical considerations for building a more resilient, efficient, and insight-driven maintenance program within their own organizations.

Topic: Building Trust – MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Workplace Data Journey
Time: Tuesday April 14th from 12:30-1:10 PM CT
Place: La Fourche
Content Summary
MIT Lincoln Laboratory had long used OpenBlue Workplace, but primarily in a limited capacity. As the organization sought to improve how space data was governed, shared, and used for decision-making, MIT LL began a broader effort to establish Workplace as a trusted source of truth for its space portfolio.
This initiative required more than expanding a technology platform – it required clarifying ownership of space data, aligning stakeholders across the organization, and developing sustainable processes for managing and maintaining accurate information.
Working alongside AMS Workplace Technology as a technical implementation partner, MIT LL defined new workflows, refined business requirements, and expanded the platform through multiple phases of implementation. The effort brought together organizational leadership, facilities teams, and technical specialists to address challenges related to data governance, system integration, and long-term adoption.
This session will share MIT LL’s journey – from early planning and stakeholder alignment to navigating data and integration complexities – while highlighting practical lessons learned. Attendees will gain insight into how organizations can evolve workplace technology platforms into trusted operational systems for managing and understanding their space portfolio.
Takeaways & Objectives:

How organizations can establish governance and ownership for space data across multiple stakeholders
Practical strategies for building trust in workplace and facilities data as a shared organizational resource
Lessons learned from planning and executing a multi-phase IWMS implementation
Approaches for addressing data readiness, integrations, and long-term platform sustainability
How organizational alignment, change management, and technical implementation work together to support large workplace technology initiatives
