ICT Infrastructure – The Foundation of Present & Future Technologies for Building Services
10am-10:45am
Building services are adopting digital technologies faster than the industry can keep up. BICSI will outline the essential infrastructure that needs to be in place.
Mental Health and Well-being in Building Services
11am-12:30pm
This highly respected panel of OHS thought-leaders will consider the positive impact mental health and wellbeing have on workers (respectful & collaborative environment, improved work/life balance); and on the business (improved productivity, employer of choice).
The panel will present local and international research on workplace trends and what has/hasn’t worked and helpful guidelines on workplace policies/processes; what it takes to have a good day; followed by a case study workshop.
Learning outcomes will include three things we can do differently going back to work.
Delivering the Latest in Digital Healthcare
1:30pm-2:30pm
As digital technologies become increasingly deployed in healthcare for improved patient care and treatment, the dependability of the design and maintenance of digital networks becomes paramount. Hear from health boards and expert design engineers on current successes and future challenges.
Smart Building Solutions that are Delivering Real Value
3pm-3:45pm
Building owners and tenants are using next-generation information and communication technologies to increase their operational efficiency, share information and improve the quality of services they provide to others. In this presentation, Beca will be presenting a range of smart building features based on their track record in New Zealand and Singapore to show how new technology is bringing tangible benefits to all building users. The technology solutions discussed will include enhancing security system performance through video analytics; providing building users with direct control of their local environment using mobile device applications and using automated data analysis to improve building energy efficiency.

Managing the Cyber Threat Landscape for your Premises
11am-12pm
Cybersecurity threats extend well beyond the cloud and ICT infrastructure, given the modern connected premises and the growth of connected devices. This is a top priority for our Government and communities, with major initiatives like the Protective Security Requirements (PSR) and New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) in place to deal with threats. In this presentation, we interview one of New Zealand’s foremost cyber-security experts and major contributor to government and industry strategies and policies to mitigate cyber-threats to businesses and communities - a must-attend presentation for all building services professionals.
Why We Need a Cyber-resilient Culture
1:15pm-2pm
Research shows that cyber threats are more likely to come from within an organisation than outside. So while companies develop strategies to ward off external attacks, they also need to develop a cyber-resilient culture within their business.
This presentation will outline how to develop such a culture, addressing the risks associated with personnel, IT/OT, IoT, third parties and governance; and how to protect people and process with technology.
Developing a Safety Culture in the Workplace
2:15pm-3pm
As the safety regulator, we want to broaden thinking and action beyond compliance and the immediate daily operational focus of businesses and workers. As a nation, we need to work together to create a pro-active safety culture.
Increasing Bandwidth at the Optical Fibre Physical Layer
3pm-3:45pm
Both data centre operators and telecommunication Service Providers face insatiable bandwidth demands from different perspectives, and as a result, have different options to consider.
Data centre operators need to manage several layers of massive optical redundant connections between building clusters and between data centre sites, whereas telecommunication service providers are seeking options to significantly increase bandwidth density in their limited right of way space for long haul backbones.
This presentation covers promising break-through physical layer technologies that will yield tremendous optical fibre bandwidth improvements to meet the demands of both sectors.
