The Seattle Chapter of the International Facility Management Association is excited to open registration for the first annual Powerful Facility Energy Conference! This is the first year our chapter has partnered with Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, and Snohomish County PUD, to join the forces of our annual Education Symposium and the Electric League’s bi-annual Powerful Business conference. The conference, aimed at facility managers and owners, building operations and engineering staff, architects, engineers, and property developers, offers a variety of educational topics, ranging from practical energy solutions to emerging technologies and how the newest policies will affect all those who work in the built environment.

Attendees will learn strategies to improve energy performance and sustain operational cost savings; how to prepare for new codes and policies; and ways to keep your facility and career on track. Conference content provides the business community with the information necessary to find partnerships and solutions that save energy and money, improve comfort, and enhance productivity in their facilities. A series of three breakout sessions are offered throughout the day.  Vendor display opportunities are available for companies interested in showcasing their products and services before an estimated crowd of 300 facility professional attendees.  Welcome breakfast, lunch with a keynote speaker, and reception are all included.

SBC staff will be participating in conference sessions and exhibiting — stop by our booth and say hello!
