NexusCast
The Condition-Based Maintenance Playbook

This is not a webinar. NexusCast is a half-day working session for building owners who are actively running—or trying to launch—a smart buildings program.
Join building owners, facility management leaders, and industry experts for practical insights on using condition-based maintenance to detect problems sooner, prioritize work, and reduce reactive maintenance.

Building Owner Expert Teachings

Go deep into implementation reality. These rapid-fire breakdowns cover the technical logic behind condition-based maintenance workflows and the "day-one" mistakes these teams would avoid if they started over today.

Breakout Roundtable Discussions

Turn individual insights into collective intelligence. These small-group sessions are designed to help you pressure-test strategies, share current pain points, and crowdsource solutions to the implementation hurdles you’re facing right now.

Vendor Demos

See the technology behind the playbooks in action. Watch live demonstrations of the tools driving today’s smartest buildings. Learn how these platforms behave in the field and how they plug into existing owner workflows.

Virtual Expo Floor

A curated marketplace for the implementation-minded. Access the technical resources you need, review deep-dive product materials, and have the candid conversations necessary to vet the next deployment for your portfolio.

About This Virtual Event

We’ve distilled more than 50 real-world condition-based maintenance (CBM) stories from Nexus Labs’ research library into a single implementation playbook grounded in what building owners are actually doing today. Drawn from case studies across owners such as Amazon, CU Anschutz, Delta Airlines, Hudson Pacific, Hyatt Regency, Microsoft, and many more, this three-hour virtual conference is designed to cut through theory and show the practical steps, trade-offs, and workflow changes behind successful CBM programs. 

We’ll start with a direct walkthrough of the Nexus Labs CBM Playbook: a standardized operational blueprint for moving from reactive maintenance toward signal-driven, condition-based operations. From there, we’ll break down why owners pursue this playbook, how mature programs evolve, where teams get stuck, and what technologies and service models actually support execution.

Following the playbook reveal, the industry experts helping shape it will share what worked in practice:

  • Playbook Accelerators: Targeted deep dives into the technical logic and operating decisions that help teams get unstuck

  • Obstacle Removal: Real examples of how owners are overcoming workflow, staffing, and implementation barriers

  • Interactive Learning: Peer-led roundtables, live demos, and open marketplace time with vendors supporting this playbook

Join facility leaders, engineers, energy managers, OT professionals, and solution providers for a practical look at how condition-based maintenance is really being implemented in connected buildings programs today.
