FMA National Summit: Digital Transformation for Facility Operations

February 16, 2026

As facilities management continues to evolve, innovation, sustainability and resilience have become the cornerstones of long-term success.

The FMA National Summit, this year in Melbourne on 26 February, will explore how forward-thinking organisations are harnessing technology, data and design to create smarter, more adaptive and environmentally responsible facilities.

The Summit will delve into discussions on Driving Innovation, Sustainability and Resilience in Facilities.

Leaders in the field will share strategies for using digital technologies to help embed sustainability into every stage of a facility’s lifecycle – balancing energy efficiency, occupant wellbeing, and environmental responsibility.

Joining expert speakers at the Summit will be Nathan Semos, VBIS Executive Manager.

Nathan’s presentation will examine how VBIS can shift the conversation from data accumulation to data purpose.

“As facilities management rapidly evolves, data has become one of its most powerful assets. From smart building systems, IoT sensors to predictive maintenance platforms and energy dashboards, forward-thinking organisations are collecting more data than ever before,” said Nathan.

“But at what point does data collection stop delivering value and start creating complexity, risk, and inefficiency?

By reframing VBIS Asset classification system as a strategic intelligence connector – not just a data repository – facilities managers can move from reactive management to proactive optimisation.”
