Realcomm's IBcon 2014 Presents the Smart Building Integrator Summit (SBIS)

    CARLSBAD, CA, March 13, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Technology continues to drive the Intelligent Buildings' industry transformation, resulting in a rapid evolution from a single building/one system approach to an integrated, interoperable strategy not only for buildings, but also portfolios, campuses and ultimately, cities. This change has led to a significant knowledge gap for traditional integrators who aspire to succeed in the burgeoning Smart Building space. To fill this gap and delve deeper on how facilities service organizations need to adapt to the new market requirements, IBcon 2014 presents the Smart Building Integrator Summit (SBIS). It is targeted for system integrators and consultants from HVAC, IT, AV, Multimedia, Digital Signage, Lighting, Security and Industrial controls. This pre-conference Summit will be held June 17 from 1pm to 5pm at the Encore at The Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.

"Our objective for SBIS is to provide the world's most globally insightful and relevant educational curriculum focused on best practices relating to IT, Analytics, Data Visualization, Cybersecurity, Data Governance, Client Intelligence, Network Design and Legacy System," said Jim Young, co-founder and CEO of Realcomm/IBcon. "Equally as important as the information sharing is the opportunity for networking and collaboration with the industry's leading building automation integrators who understand the importance of getting out in front of the market."

In order to develop and present the most comprehensive and relevant curriculum, IBcon has assembled the following group of thought leaders on the topic of open architected, interoperable and integrated IP-based smart, connected, high performance and intelligent buildings for this year's SBIS Advisory Council:
