The Critical Facilities Summit (CFS), a conference and product expo designed for mission critical facilities professionals, consulting engineers and design/build firms, has announced its two feature workshops. “The Disaster Experience: A Critical Facilities Workshop”and “The Intentional Data Center Leader”are complimentary educational sessions, included for all full-attendees of the 2015 Critical Facilities Summit. This year’s conference will be held October 5-7 at the Charlotte Convention Center.  

The first offering of its kind at the Critical Facilities Summit, this disaster experience workshop offers a rare chance to explore the importance of a business continuity plan (BCP) in the context of a data center or other critical facility environment from the safety of the classroom. The experience will provide participants with an opportunity to implement the types of critical decisions their facilities regularly face, experience the benefits or consequences of their hypothetical actions, and discuss these results and other scenarios with their peers. The event will be held on Monday, October 5 from 12:00-2:15pm in room 208A and presented by Bob Mellinger, president, Attainium Corp.
