The “Shared Practice” meetings provide an opportunity for you to talk with your colleagues and peers about the many common topics associated with managing a cultural facility. You can discuss what is working/not, ask any questions about an issue you are facing, share your lessons learned with others, and otherwise network and learn from each other.
Some meetings have a presentation, others are open discussion. The meetings are open to all folks working on cultural facility management and projects. Your participation is a valuable to the overall group. If you have not attended one of these before, read about Shared Practice meetings.

This month’s meeting is on Lessons Learned from an Energy AI System Pilot.
As you may know, Facility Issues sponsored a test of a cloud-based energy management system to identify what potential value such systems might offer to cultural facility managers. While our testing was not as extensive as originally envisions, we will share the lessons learned at our shared practice meeting this month.
Time permitting, we will also discuss any other questions you may have for the group.
Please take the short pre-meeting survey on your Energy Management Activities. It will only take a couple minutes and provides a good starting point for our discussion. Upon completion of the survey, you will return to this page to register and will also receive a copy of the survey results.
