The Future of Intelligent Buildings Starts Now
FIN Connect 2026
When: 23 June 2026
Where: Crowne Plaza, Verona, Italy

You are invited!
Join the first annual FIN ecosystem gathering, FIN Connect 2026, designed specifically for the key professionals shaping the future of intelligent, connected, high‑performance buildings.
Whether you integrate systems, advise clients, manage portfolios, design developments, or build technologies for the built environment — this is the event that speaks directly to your challenges, opportunities, and ambitions.
Why Attend?
The built environment is undergoing a massive shift: AI‑powered automation, interoperability, energy intelligence, and new regulations like EPBD are redefining how buildings must operate.
At FIN Connect, you’ll discover practical, real-world strategies to stay ahead of regulatory, technological, and market demands — not just today, but for the next decade.
This event is about more than technology — it’s about changing the culture of the building automation industry.
A culture where:
- Systems are open, interoperable, and future-ready
- Innovation is driven by collaboration, not silos
- Buildings become intelligent, adaptive, and software‑defined
- Partners co-create solutions that scale
If you believe in this direction, FIN Connect 2026 is where you belong.
