Innovate. Transform. The Future of Smart Infrastructure Starts Here
Where Business Growth Meets Environmental Impact
At FMA Summits, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we live it. As part of our environmental commitment, we offset our operational and event emissions through our tree planting initiative. For each summit we host, we partner with reforestation projects to plant trees that will capture carbon from our events, ensuring every connection we facilitate contributes to a healthier planet. This commitment to environmental stewardship reflects our belief that meaningful business transformation must also support ecological sustainability.
Transforming Infrastructure Through Executive Connection
“Let me ask you this… If I could show you how companies like Amazon and Boston Scientific are transforming their East Coast facilities for BERDO compliance, would that be worth a brief conversation?
Here’s what’s EXACTLY happening: 150 facility leaders managing portfolios across New York, New Jersey, and New England are gathering in Boston this May. Why? Because what’s happening in Boston today is coming to New York and New Jersey tomorrow.
Think about it: These leaders are investing $2900 each to attend because they know that getting ahead of these regulations saves millions in the long run. And what’s fascinating is that Boston Scientific, MIT, and UConn are already seeing dramatic results from their early adoption strategies.
Imagine having private, one-on-one meetings with solution providers who’ve already helped major companies navigate these exact challenges. The best part? While others are still figuring out where to start, you’ll be implementing proven strategies from leaders who’ve already succeeded.
All this happens at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe – just a quick 30 minute ride from New York City. And if you’re considering bringing your solutions to Boston’s market, you’ll meet every key decision-maker in one place.
Here’s what I’d like to know: Would you prefer to be ahead of these regulations, or playing catch-up when they reach New York and New Jersey?”
