About the event
Inside the Northern California Facilities Expo
Celebrating its 45th year, the Northern California Facilities Expo returns to the Santa Clara Convention Center on October 6–7, 2026.

The event attracts facilities, maintenance, and energy decision-makers from industries including high-tech manufacturing, education, utilities, biotechnology, government, hospitality, retail, healthcare, finance, and entertainment.
