It's time to rise to the challenge during the Mid-Year Conference Neighborhood Nexus. Take part in a contest of adaptive facilities management as you join one of four Kentucky-themed "neighborhood" teams: Ali Heights, Derby Downs, Bourbon Row, and Slugger Square.

You and your randomized team will be forced to come up with the best solution on how to address a simulated FM emergency, including topics like: handling media fallout at your neighborhood facility, a disastrous incident erupting at your site right before a major event, a technological malfunction that sends your entire location into chaos, and a major multi-site emergency creating total disarray!

Sign up to be part of Neighborhood Nexus, and find out more here.

“Too Expensive” used to mean your team couldn’t fit a top-of-the-line upgrade into this year’s budget, but that was 20 years ago.
