Buildings 2.0 Conference

When

3.13.2019 - 3.14.2019

Where

UI Labs 1415 North Cherry Ave Chicago, IL 60642

PREMIER SPONSORS

Join us to explore the intelligence of
high performance buildings.

From distribution centers, to offices, to residential homes, emerging technology will impact the future of all.

  • There are sensors that collect usage data to better utilize space. 
  • There are new building materials that improve the carbon footprint of office buildings.
  • There are investments being made to bolster these advancements and move us one step further into the future of buildings.
The features of Buildings 2.0 are incredible and promising, potentially improving the environment, the longevity of the building, and the lifestyle of the end user. The problem is, they aren’t necessarily easy — or inexpensive — to implement.

Geoffrey Kasselman, SIOR, LEED AP, Executive Managing Director, Newmark Knight Frank

Karl Heitman, President, Heitman Architects // Erik Neives, CEO, Plus One Robotics // Cutler Knupp, Director of Strategy & Technology Investment, Haskell

The age of Amazon is upon us. With the click of a button, nearly anything can be delivered directly to our doorstep, inconveniencing us only to shuffle to the door and pick up the package. In this panel, we’ll examine the ways we can prepare ourselves for some of the biggest challenges the industry is facing, and take advantage of new opportunities in the world of distribution. As the distribution and retail evolve, we will sit down with leaders to discuss the newest innovations and trends that are saving capital, reducing risk, and increasing performance.

Jared Golden, Co-CEO, Leap // Aaron Tucker, Chief Investment Officer, Tucker Development // Andy Hochberg, Managing Principal & CEO, Next Reality

The landscape of retail as we know it is changing. Brick and mortar stores that were once fixtures of every mall and shopping venue are shuttering locations. The needs and demands of retail customers are shifting. They don’t necessarily want just a place where they can buy a beer or a pair of jeans, now they also want experiences. In this panel, we’ll sit down with Jared Golden, Co-CEO of Leap; Aaron Tucker, CIO of Tucker Development; and Andy Hochberg, Managing Principal & CEO of Next Reality to get their thoughts on the ever-shifting world of retail. What does the future hold, and how can companies successfully adapt in the age of Amazon?

A building’s core is one of the most essential parts of the structure. Construct it incorrectly or with the wrong materials, and you’ve got a disaster on your hands. More and more, we are seeing new materials being used to build better, stronger cores. We’ll sit down with Adjustable Forms Inc.’s Eric Lindquist and GCP Applied Technologies’ Matthew Mazarenko to discuss the newest advancements in building cores, along with the materials that are being used to great success.

As technology advances, we are finding that the building envelope is being used to increase efficiency and control a variety of factors including air quality, lighting, noise, and the overall cost of building materials. In this panel, we’ll touch base with Marty Trainor of Ventana DBS, Laura Dwyer of DuPont Performance Building Solutions, and Matthew Dealy of SFS to further explore how new approaches are increasing the need for more collaboration among diverse industry stakeholders.
