About this event
The conference is built around school facilities, meaning the buildings, grounds and systems that districts depend on every day. It brings together people who plan, build and maintain campuses across California.
The organiser publishes a brochure that sets out the dates, the venue and the program. That document notes that dates, times and speakers may change, so check the latest version before making travel plans.
The event is listed at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento. The 47th edition ran in Sacramento in late February 2026, so the city has hosted this gathering before.
Who should go
- Facilities directors and managers at California school districts
- Maintenance and operations supervisors who oversee campus systems
- District planners and construction project leads
- Business and operations staff who review facility equipment and service agreements
Why it matters for robots
For someone weighing robots or other automation for school campuses, this conference puts facilities leaders in the same room as the people who plan buildings and set priorities. Cleaning, grounds care and delivery tasks are common places where automation gets discussed, and planning and maintenance sessions are where those ideas meet timelines and budgets.
Be realistic about what a conference can settle. Expect to hear how other districts structured their service agreements, including any lease through financing, along with how they approach equipment decisions and staffing. Bring a list of your own maintenance tasks and the constraints you already face, so you can test ideas against them.
