Shaping the Future of Campus Environments

Make Information Actionable. Innovate & Collaborate.

College campuses have seen a transformation over the last 3 years and continue to navigate through periods of supply chain issues, increasing costs, labor shortages, and more. What has helped during this time? Collaboration and sharing of ideas with each other.

College campuses have undergone significant transformation over the past few years, with institutions continuously adapting to challenges like supply chain disruptions, rising costs, labor shortages, and shifting student needs. One thing has remained clear—progress happens through collaboration and the exchange of ideas.

The Campus Facilities Summit brings together senior leaders in facilities management, capital planning, construction, and engineering from top colleges and universities across the U.S. This exclusive, invitation-only conference offers a focused and intimate setting for campus executives to connect, share strategies, and explore innovative solutions that shape the future of campus design and infrastructure.

Designed for Chief Facilities Officers, AVPs of Facilities, Directors of Construction, and other senior decision-makers, the summit offers a curated experience with highly targeted sessions and meaningful peer-to-peer engagement. It’s more than a conference—it’s a catalyst for action, improvement, and strategic planning.

Discover how leaders across higher education are transforming their campuses to meet today’s demands while building for tomorrow.

Assistant Director of College Facilities – Vanderbilt University

I thought the Summit was well-balanced in the seminar subjects and the presentations. The attendees were a great group of colleagues to meet and discuss timely issues. Meeting with the assorted Vendors I came away with some great future relationships.

Director of Space Planning and Design – University of Southern California

I really enjoyed it. We had a lot of great meetings and had some great conversations with facility managers and architects about our product offerings.

Global Accessories Category Manager – Bobrick Washroom Equipment, Inc.

Opal Group puts on a great summit. The speakers were relevant and outstanding, the industry partners were informative, and the accommodations and food were excellent.

Director of Campus Planning – Louisiana State University

The small group gave us all a better chance to connect with each other than we would otherwise have in a large conference. Highly recommend this approach.

AVP Capital Strategy & Planning – George Mason University

I thought this was a very productive Summit overall. It was great getting to speak with both architects/designers as well as the owners.
