A full slate of relevant, well curated educational seminars and expert panels will be running all day long, giving attendees the opportunity to take master classes on a broad array of timely topics. This year’s roster of in- formative presentations includes: 10:15 a.m. - Room 1: Verizon Enhanced Communities presents Connecting Com- munity—Multifamily Broadband, WiFi, & 5G Mobility . Now more than ever, managers, boards, and building residents rely on wireless and 5G technology to keep them connected, informed, and productive. Come learn how your building can meet the demands of ever- faster bandwidth requirements, address the expanded needs of residents working from home, and stay competitive in a crowded market. Our Verizon rep will discuss the lat- est trends and innovations, dispel myths and misconceptions, and offer insight into how your building community can harness the power of modern telecom tech. 11:15 a.m. - Room 2: Kagan Lubic Lepper Finkelstein & Gold LLP presents New Local Law 11/FISP Requirements—Understand- ing the Financial Considerations & Getting Your Building Compliant. Exterior inspec- tions are a crucial part of every co-op and condo building’s regular maintenance—fall- ing behind can lead not only to costly fines and citations from the DOB, but also to struc- tural deterioration, damage, and even injury to residents or passers-by. Join us for this in- depth, timely discussion of the recent changes to Local Law 11 inspection protocols and schedules—including the implications for solar installations and conversions—and find out what your board needs to know to help your building pass its next inspection with flying colors. 12:15 p.m. - Room 1: FirstService Resi- dential presents The Clock Is Ticking—Your Building’s Path to Local Law 97 Emissions Compliance. NYC’s Local Law 97 sets strict carbon emissions targets for residential build- ings, and the window for compliance with the law’s requirements is narrowing fast. Most buildings will need a deep energy efficiency retrofit, an alternative energy strategy, or both to avoid costly fines. The law’s requirements are complex, and boards and managers need wide-ranging support to navigate, plan, and pay for necessary retrofit projects. This ex- pert panel will guide board members on how to prioritize and implement retrofit projects to maximize emissions reductions, secure incentives and favorable financing to cover costs, hire qualified contractors, create a proj- ect plan to minimize disruption to residents, implement low-cost, high-reward strategies to optimize building performance, and drive behavioral changes among residents to help reduce emissions. 1:15 p.m. - Room 2: Meridian Capital Group presents Unprecedented Options - Structured Financing for Your Building’s Underlying Mortgage The financing landscape for co-ops has never been more diverse than it is today, or more customizable for a community’s unique needs. The array of options for structuring a mortgage to help your co-op accomplish its long-term objectives is truly unprecedented. Come find out how your board can collabo- rate with its financial advisors to take advan- tage of what is actually an exciting time in the mortgage market! 2:15 p.m. - Room 1: Schneider Buchel LLP presents Working From Home - Difficult Residents & Default Issues in a Post-Pan- demic World . The pandemic has thrown a lot into perspective—including the sometimes- unforeseen social challenges of so many people now working remotely, and the crucial importance of data security as ever more busi- ness and personal information is conducted digitally. With more co-op and condo resi- dents than ever before working from home, complaints about difficult residents—wheth- er the issue is noise, rule-breaking, harassing, or even threatening behavior—have become more common. Concerns about privacy, data security, and who has access to residents’ per- sonal information are also on more residents’ radar. This expert legal panel will tackle both topics, discussing best practices for dealing with difficult or disruptive residents, manag- ing conflict, and legal remedies, as well as how to properly store, share, and safeguard your community’s important digital documents and data. 3:15 - Room 2: BuildingLink presents Wireless Wonders New, Affordable Sen- — sor Tech for Leak Detection, Mechanical Monitoring, & Energy Conservation. New advances in wireless sensor tech have made it possible for even large residential buildings to get equipped with state-of-the-art infra- structure to detect and prevent leaks, monitor HVAC and other equipment systems, send customized alerts, and cut costs by conserv- ing energy and other resources. This presen- tation will explain how new lower-power, long-range wireless technologies can deploy within minutes, run for 10+ years on a single battery, and cost just a fraction of more ex- pensive proprietary wired systems. Come get ideas on how you can start small, learn as you go, and build out your own smart building so- lution based on the issues that matter most to your board and residents. See You There!
