Smart Building Conference at ISE 2017

The Smart Building Conference was held on on Monday 6 February 2017

Content Chairman, Bob Snyder, (Editor in Chief of Channel Media Europe) delivered the most compelling programme so far at a time when smart building and building automation are primary considerations for any commercial or residential development.

The Smart Building Conference is a one day event that explores the latest smart building technologies, business strategies, market research and workflow case studies all presented by some of the world’s leading smart building experts and thought leaders. This year’s SBC theme is IoT Makes Smart Buildings Even Smarter.

SBC 2017 Speakers

Aglaia Kong, Google’s CTO Corporate Networking, will talk about how IoT goes beyond energy management in smart buildings
Claire Penny, Worldwide Solution Leader, IBM’s Watson IoT, will show how ‘cognitive IT’ brings a new intelligence to smart homes and smart buildings
Gabriel Wetzel, VP for IoT and Smart City at Bosch Software Innovations, will present how IoT transforms buildings
Bernhard Huessy, CEO, Nomos System will explain how IoT creates opportunity In commercial, residential and marine installations

The twin tracks (Residential and Commercial) offer dual insight to help you understand that Smart Building is neither a product nor a standalone technology but an end-to-end solution that will change our homes, offices and buildings forever.

Attending SBC is an affordable way to make great contacts, understand the latest technology from the companies that are driving the changes, and learn how some integrators are already applying technology like IoT in installations for home and business.

Bob Snyder believes that the pan-European focus of the Smart Building Conference makes the event unique: “I think that it provides a different perspective, a different flavour than events in the USA or local European national events. We are the leading conference for the smart tech inside buildings that enables seamless, collaborative, healthy and comfortable working experiences. We don’t believe a building is ‘truly’ smart until it enables its occupants.”

SBC 2017: IoT makes Smart Buildings even smarter

If your business is inside a building, now it’s going to be inside a smart building…

When the Smart Building Conference started six editions ago, the discussion revolved around the transformation of your business landscape. Today, whether your interest is Smart Building, Smart Office or Smart Home, many of you have been enticed to adapt to this transformation.

The Smart Building Conference is here to guide you through further changes.

According to SBC Chair, Bob Snyder, IoT will transform the face of the industry more than any development since the days of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. Tech’s powerful engines of internet and mobility may be the drivers of big changes, but today they’re fueled by the IoT.

Keynote speaker Managing Director of Memoori Reseach, James McHale, explained to delegates why and how the combined global market for the Internet of Things in Buildings (BIoT) will grow from $23.5Bn in 2015 to $75.5Bn by 2021- an impressive CAGR of 20.7%.

McHale, says, “The IoT use cases that will experience the greatest revenue growth in Western Europe are smart buildings, smart home, in-store contextualised marketing, and connected vehicles, all of which will see revenue increases of more than 28% CAGR over the 2016-2020 forecast period.”

Another speaker (Bernhard Huessy, CEO and co-founder of nomos system AG, a patented IoT automation software platform) talked about how IoT opportunities will shape the next five years of system integration in Commercial, Residential & Marine.

Smart Building Conference 2017 also included presentations on how Microsoft’s HoloLens will change the way we look at all buildings, how the market is growing for clean air products in home and business, how AI (like IBM’s Watson) and voice interfaces (like Amazon’s Alexa) will shape our industries and how to profit from the increasing need for security (physical, virtual, and video security).

Other topics at the Smart Building Conference included building automation systems and Big Data output.
