Smart Data for Energy Summit 2026

The 4th Annual Smart Data for Energy Summit is a senior-level educational and networking Summit, designed as a highly interactive forum that provides an interchange of in-depth knowledge, and serves as a catalyst for collaboration across large built environments that share the common goal of leveraging smart, data-driven capabilities to support energy optimization goals throughout the planning, design, build, retrofit, management, and daily operations and maintenance phases. These sectors include: Higher Education Campuses, Hospitals & Healthcare Systems, Federal Facilities, and Large Commercial Campuses. Topics to be covered include understanding how facilities leaders want to build, operate, and maintain their campuses and facilities energy ecosystems in the near future and what they really want advanced data-driven capabilities to do for them and their teams; how advanced digital tools can be applied to create greater energy efficiency in the early design, engineering and construction phases and carried through the entire project delivery; overcoming fragmentation of systems across OT and IT; doing more with existing data; insight into emerging use cases of LLMs interfaces and AI agents; the tech stack needed for AI-enabled applications in legacy buildings; cyber-physical safety disciplines; and emerging AI governance, liability, and contracting frameworks. The summit provides knowledge and insight for facility, campus, and building energy stakeholders to improve energy optimization and for industry innovators to understand current challenges and needs. It is designed to foster partnerships and allow attendees to share insights during interactive sessions.
