Smart Buildings Exchange
Join the Smart Buildings Center for the 2026 Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) to be held in downtown Seattle on November 9-10, 2026! The conference theme, “Accelerating Performance at the Speed of Innovation,” reflects both the urgency of the moment and the opportunity in front of us. As technologies advance and pressures on the built environment intensify, buildings are being asked to do more: reduce costs, improve resilience, respond to grid needs, support occupant outcomes, and deliver stronger performance in an increasingly complex operating environment. SBX 2026 will create space not just for inspiration, but for debate, problem-solving, and clearer pathways to action.
SBX 2026 brings together building owners, operators, engineers, technology providers, utilities, policymakers, and energy professionals for two days of high‑impact discussion, debate, and collaboration to address one critical question: what will it take to move smart buildings from promising projects to genuine, repeatable scale?
Across keynotes, panels, workshops, and networking events, participants will explore the practical barriers and opportunities that matter most right now—financing structures, policy alignment, AI-driven operations, and what it will take to make smart buildings the norm rather than the exception. Join the leaders helping shape the next generation of smarter, more resilient, and more efficient buildings.
