CALL FOR SPEAKERS
We want to hear from you! We invite all Niagara Community members to apply to be a speaker at Niagara Summit 2026.
We are approaching three decades of near limitless device integrations with Niagara Framework, and the Niagara Community is preparing to gather for its biennial global conference. If you have news of a project, process or tech development that you want to share with the community, here is your opportunity!
TOPICS & TRACKS TO EXPECT AT NIAGARA SUMMIT 2026
Whether you are a systems integrator, consulting engineer, application developer, manufacturing partner, or expert in a related discipline, we want to hear from you. If you are a customer of any of the Niagara partners above, the community needs to hear your voice even more. We're already gathering input for a rich education program around all the topics that define Niagara:
MISSION CRITICAL OT
Partners around the world will be reporting on how they are using Niagara to support mission-critical operation of healthcare/hospital, data center, and government/military facilities. Deploying Niagara in a way that supports business continuity, resilience in the face of disaster, and 24-by-7 operations will be presenting.
ENERGY STRATEGIES
Energy costs are rising, and enterprise and institutional power consumers are leveraging Niagara to orchestrate not only how they interact with their utilities, but also how they tap into their own microgrids and alternative energy sources. NS2026 speakers will be talking about these strategies—and we will even have some large, new net-zero projects to showcase.
NEW WORKFLOWS WITH ADVANCED VISUALIZATION & AI
Edge-to-grid, on-site-to-cloud, boiler room to boardroom—we will be covering workflows! Of course, the Niagara Community is out ahead in terms of incorporating Advanced Visualization and AI tools into those flows, so get ready to learn about the latest technology.
SMALL/MEDIUM STRATEGIES THAT SCALE
Managing a portfolio of retail spaces spread across regions and climates? Integrating variable-refrigerant flow buildings into a larger BMS strategy? Monitoring and managing some industrial asset class not typical of BMS control? Niagara Framework can flex to the need.
CYBER DEFENSE
We will be covering the latest cyber defense strategies for BMS and operational technology (OT) more generally.
Key Dates:
- Booth selection by Niagara Summit 2020 exhibitors: December 2, 2021 - January 7, 2022
- Booth space selection by all other exhibitors: January 10, 2022 - March 11, 2022
