SEMINAR PROGRAMME

There are two concurrent speaking schedules at the show: a seminar programme from thought leaders in FM and the built environment and a series of product demonstrations from key suppliers in the market.

The seminar programme is devised by FMJ editor Sara Bean in consultation with members of the FMJ editorial steering group who represent client side FMs from a range of sectors, including public sector, not for profit, professional services and healthcare.

The content for these sessions will be based on polls FMJ has carried out among its extensive readership on the areas of greatest interest to FM and estates management professionals. All the sessions will be non-promotional and will include independent research findings, best practice case studies and panel discussions.

Subjects covered over the two days will include:

  • Talks from a variety of professional associations representing the built environment
  • Sustainability, including energy management, achieving Scope 3 and 4 and waste management
  • The impact of technological innovations in FM
  • Workplace design & FM
  • Health and safety
  • Wellbeing in the workplace
  • Managing contracts
  • Recruitment and training
     

Confirmed sessions for the seminar events so far include:

  • Keynote address by Laura Toumazi of CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS)
  • A panel discussion on recruitment and training in FM chaired by i-FM’s David Emanuel
  • Health & Safety legislation update from H&S consultant Kate Gardner of International Workplace.
  • Panel:  Professional progress in FM with speakers from the IWFM, CIBSE and the RICS    
  • Expert advice on managing FM contracts by Mark Whittaker of Thomson FM consultancy & Chair of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM)

  • Advice on meeting energy and sustainability goals from Kam Singh Executive Director - ESG at EMCOR UK
  • Jason Instrell    of SFG20 with expert analysis on meeting compliance standards    
     

PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS

Running alongside the seminar content will be a series of presentations from suppliers into the built environment on a range of products designed to enhance services performance.

These will include innovations in HVAC, M&E, Smart buildings, workplace apps, cleaning products, security tech and many more.

Delegates will have a chance to see the products in action and ask any questions regarding their needs.

The product demonstration sessions will aim to reflect the sort of content that FM clients will find the most relevant to their needs, now and into the future.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

Facilities & Estates Management Live is brought to you by Facilities Management Journal (FMJ) which has been in circulation for over 32 years and has the highest audited circulation in FM media. Publishing content which informs, engages, and challenges our readers, FMJ’s editorial integrity is the driver for its continued popularity.

A poll of our readers revealed FMs felt that there was a lack of focused exhibitions for them to visit, view, learn and meet. Additionally, the lack of an event dedicated to Facilities Managers created a feeling that FM lacked its own brand.

This event is a great opportunity to forge long-lasting relationships, share knowledge and engage and connect with like-minded professionals from various disciplines supporting facilities and estates experience.

NEW TO FACILITIES MANAGEMENT?

It is important to promote FM to new entrants and promote the industry as a career of choice. The show aims to engage the next generation who will be improving workplaces for the benefit of businesses, the economy and the wider society.

Facilities & Estates Management Live is a great opportunity for rising FMs to network and learn. For individuals new to the industry, attending our event which is dedicated to the needs and interests of Facilities Managers will provide an opportunity to expand knowledge and upskill for new duties or challenges.

The team at FMJ has been covering facilities management for many years and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to ‘go live’ with this inaugural event which is sure to celebrate all things FM.
