Speaker: Dennis Krieger, VP of Product, Clockworks Analytics

Join us for a look back and a look ahead. We'll revisit the highlights of the past year—key product releases, major milestones, and the lessons that shaped our progress since the last Summit—before unveiling the 2027 product roadmap.

Dennis Krieger

VP of Product

Speaker: Nick Gayeski, Co-CEO, Clockworks Analytics & Alex Grace, Chief Commercial Officer, Clockworks Analytics

This session lays out Clockworks' vision for eliminating low-value manual work through smarter automation—coordinating fault detection, root cause analytics, alarm triage and suppression, condition-based maintenance, and BAS write-back into a connected strategy that reduces work. We'll look at how this approach will reduce the core burden of facilities—reactive maintenance due to complaints, alarms, and emergencies; and planned preventative maintenance with marginal impact.

Speakers: Sam Collis, Account Executive & Jerry Gallegos, Service Engineer, Clockworks Analytics

Featuring: Mateo Paladines, Utilities Engineer, Pfizer; Christine Foster, Director, Sustainability, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH)

As sustainability commitments move from pledges to reporting requirements, Clockworks data is playing a bigger role in getting there. Matteo Palidines joins from Pfizer to share his direct experience running the company's energy reduction program, while Clockworks' Sam Collis and Jerry Gallegos bring stories from the field — Sam on Organon's approach to tracking energy and carbon metrics, and Jerry on MIT’s program goals for carbon reduction and workflow to achieve success. The session closes with a look at Clockworks’ Equipment Energy Benchmarking and Energy Information Systems Dashboards.

Speakers:  Leslie Beu, Director of Program Management & James Donahue, Vice President, Customer Success, Clockworks Analytics.

TRACK: PRODUCT FEEDBACK

Product Feedback: Shape the Roadmap

Location: Fulton (Fl. 1)
Facilitators:  Rebecca Juergens, Product Manager & Dennis Krieger, VP of Product, Clockworks Analytics.

Join us for an interactive look at the Clockworks 2027 product roadmap. We’ll explore how AI and Automations can help turn building data and diagnostics into action—from automatically creating and managing maintenance workflows, to intelligently managing alarms, to ultimately initiating control actions that optimize building performance. Most importantly, we’ll invite participants to share their priorities and help us determine which capabilities and use cases we should tackle first.

TRACK: PERFORMANCE

Condition-Based Maintenance and Asset Planning: From Trusting the Data to Defending the Decision

Location: Symphony Ballroom
Speakers: Leslie Beu, Director of Program Management, Clockworks Analytics

Featuring: Natan Zimand, Sr. Program Manager, Capital Asset Planning, Kaiser Permanente; Mike Hoffman, Energy Manager, University of Arizona

 It starts at the PM calendar: same checklist, same month, regardless of condition. Defer the wrong one and it costs more later. Spend on one the data already cleared and the money's wasted. Telling them apart has always been the hard part. Condition sets the priority instead of a date or a nameplate age, and every asset comes back scored on fitness age: checked and clear, fix it now, defer the replacement, let it run to failure, or never let it fail at all. How that turns into benefit depends on what's scarce. One pays a contractor less. One finally reaches what nobody had time for. One puts a number on the life its maintenance bought, then spends on the equipment serving rooms that can't go down. 

TRACK: FOUNDATIONS

Clockworks Fundamentals: Using Diagnostics and Tasks for Maximum Efficiency

Location: August Wilson
Speakers: Jodi Dowis, Performance Engineer & Xavier Locke, Service Engineer, Clockworks Analytics.

Bring your laptop for this hands-on session with our Service Engineers, focused on getting the most out of Clockworks' Diagnostics and Tasks features. Follow along as we walk through top power moves — grouping and filtering results, generating dynamic charts, and building task workflows directly from diagnostics — with plenty of time for your toughest “how do we do this in our workspace” questions.

TRACK: PRODUCT FEEDBACK

Product Feedback: Combatting Alarm Fatigue with FDD

Location: Fulton (Fl. 1)
Facilitator: Nick Gayeski, Co-CEO, Clockworks Analytics

Alarm fatigue is one of the most persistent challenges in facilities operations—large sites see thousands of alarms a week, and industry data shows more than 80% aren't actually critical, with the same repeat offenders driving 15–25% or more of monthly volume. Join us for an interactive discussion on how triaging and filtering alarms, contextualized with FDD, can cut through that noise: we'll look at current approaches to alarm suppression and prioritization, then open the floor for your input on where Clockworks roadmap should go next to address this need.

TRACK: PERFORMANCE

Critical Compliance Program: From Proving Compliance to Pricing the Risk

 Location: Symphony Ballroom 
Speakers: Leslie Beu Director of Program Management, Clockworks Analytics.

It started in critical spaces — pharmacies, operating rooms, the places where failure is not an option. Compliance turned that monitoring into something clients could report on, act on, and put a number against, and it's now expanding across their portfolios, replacing manual trend pulls with configured parameters and purpose-built dashboards. Three clients show what the data caught, what changed in their process once they trusted it, and what an hour out of service is worth in their building. Risk gets debated. Dollars get decided.

TRACK: FOUNDATIONS

Clockworks Fundamentals: Dashboards and Processes that Work

Location: August Wilson
Facilitators: Jodi Dowis, Performance Engineer & Jerry Gallegos, Service Engineer, Clockworks Analytics.

A practical, hands-on look at building dashboards and processes that your team will actually use. Our Service Engineers will share real examples and best practices for turning Clockworks data into daily-use dashboards and repeatable workflows.

Hats off to you! Your organizations are leaders in leveraging technology to improve building health, efficiency, and sustainability. Our FDD Awards recognize clients who are using building analytics to achieve dramatic savings, creatively solve building issues, and more.
