What can facility professionals learn from the NBA? A whole lot—especially when AI steps onto the court.

Join Building Operating Management Chief Editor Dave Lubach at NFMT East (March 10-12; Charlotte Convention Center) as he sits down with Ronnie Bryant, Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer of the Charlotte Hornets, for a behind‑the‑scenes look at the Spectrum Center—home of the Hornets and the site of the forward-thinking Reimagine renovation.

They’ll break down how AI is becoming a franchise player for modern facilities—boosting fan experience courtside and driving back‑of‑house wins across HVAC, electrical, lighting, plumbing, and security – it’s the ultimate assist for smarter, faster, more resilient operations.

Open to all attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and speakers, this session will equip facility and cleaning professionals with practical plays they can run back at their own organizations to elevate efficiency, safety, and service delivery.
