Meeting/Event Information

Everyone with a pulse has general knowledge of the importance of cyber security in business. December's presenter will drill down in this vast topic to the elements that are critical to a facility manager in this era of increasingly 'smart' buildings. Below is a brief summary of his discussion points:

• Our current landscape – Cyber threats
• Why this is getting worse
• What is “hacking” and how does it happen?
• What can be done to protect against it?

• • Prevention
  • Resilience as a strategy

In the interest of increasing value to our members, we are asking our speaker to address another area of his expertise relative both to real estate and cyber security--telecom revenue streams. As facilities continue to face rising costs and lower occupancy, finding a way to add revenue can be very attractive to FM's who are continually justifying their needs to executive teams. Leasing property/roof space to telecom companies for equipment placement is a potential income source that can have real benefit to a facility budget. See below for a discussion summary:

• How does this market work?
• Rooftop antennas and towers
• 5G expansion driving demand
• Does my property work for something like this?
• Rooftop Height
• Land area
• What is the best way to access this revenue?
• Strategic approach, proactive
• Representation – Aggregators
• Contract structure and terms
