The Evolution of Building Infrastructure Webinar: Key Trends Driving the Need for Utility Grade INFRASTRUCTURE

Oct 10, 2019

Building technology is rapidly evolving to meet productivity and efficiency demands of building owners, managers and tenants alike. Essential to keeping up with this rate of technology change is an advanced infrastructure layer that supports seamless connectivity, building automation and control, as well as the convergence of IT and OT applications across a common platform.

Join Anixter, Acuity and UL for a 40-minute round table discussion covering key trends in building technology, and how Anixter’s new Utility Grade INFRASTRUCTURE (UTG) solution is key to unlocking the potential of connected environments.

The conversation will be relevant to anyone working in built environments, including building developers, property managers, tenants, architects, consultants, engineers or contractors.

This webinar will be held live on Tuesday, October 22 and replayed for your convenience on October 24 and 30. An on-demand version will be made available at a later date.

Panelists:

Acuity | David Haley, President
UL | Eric Bulington, Business Development Director
Anixter | Andrew Jimenez, VP of Technology
