New at CFS 2017,
The FM-IT Link Track!

Every critical facility failure headline confirms the importance of teamwork between the FM and IT staff to collaborate early and often to ensure a completely networked, fully operational data center. Check out one of the most anticipated sessions at this year's Critical Facilities Summit, October 23-25 in Minneapolis:

Can We Talk? What FM Teams Should Know About IT (and Vice Versa)

Conflict continues to persist between IT and FM departments — and it goes both ways. IT teams don't loop FM teams into their plans and vice-versa. This panel features representatives from both departments discussing what each side should know about the other, and how they can better collaborate on everything from new equipment installations to scheduled (and unscheduled) downtime and energy efficiency initiatives.

The 5th annual Critical Facilities Summit brings the best of the mission critical community together for 2-1/2 days of unbeatable networking, education and product discovery. Come face-to-face with today's thought leaders for an in-depth look at the leading trends in the design, management and operations of data centers, medical facilities, banks, telecoms and other critical facilities.
