Inside the Simulation Lab:
How Immersive Training Builds Field-Ready Facilities Maintenance Teams
September 24, 2025 | 11:00AM CST / 12:00PM EST
For decades, the military and medical fields have relied on simulation training to prepare people for high-stakes, high-pressure environments, where there’s no room for error and hands-on experience is hard to come by.
Now, that same proven training model is transforming how facilities teams build the skills, confidence, and decision-making they need on the job.
Join Interplay Learning’s Head of Business and Learner Outcomes, Dan Clapper, and VP of Content, Braden Bronson, for an interactive “virtual lab” where they will explore how simulation-based training is helping FM teams get field-ready faster and stay sharper longer.
Backed by deep experience in field operations, learning strategy, and content development, Dan and Braden will take you behind the scenes of simulation design, show real training in action, and share what the most forward-thinking FM teams are doing to reduce risk, improve performance, and standardize skills at scale.
You'll Leave With:
- Why simulation training is one of the most effective ways to build real-world technical skills
- A behind-the-scenes look at how facility maintenance simulations are designed and developed
- Real examples of FM tasks – like lockout/tagout and HVAC diagnostics – demonstrated through simulation
- An exclusive first look at new simulation releases coming soon
