Neighborhood Nexus

Back by popular demand, the Neighborhood Nexus is returning to the ConnexFM Mid-Year Conference 2025—bringing a fresh round of collaboration, real-world challenges, and a touch of friendly competition.

When attendees arrive at the conference, they'll be placed into one of six themed neighborhoods:

Inside each neighborhood, participants will form Challenge Response Teams to tackle real scenarios facing the facilities management and maintenance industry today. Each team will work together to craft smart, strategic solutions to a unique operational challenge which includes:

Cutting Financial Expenses
Navigating an RFP Execution
Resolving Vendor Miscommunication
Managing the Handoff from Construction to Facilities
Emergency Response to Weather Related Site Conditions
Hazard Management

After brainstorming and problem-solving, a set of judges will select a winning team from each neighborhood to present their solution during a dynamic knowledge-sharing session open to all attendees for the final competition.

1/7

The stakes are high—these winning teams will compete for the opportunity to speak at the 2026 National Conference and earn the title of Neighborhood Nexus Champion.

Whether you're new to the conference or returning to the Nexus, this is your chance to connect, contribute, and lead through hands-on collaboration!
