Technology is changing how it operates, workplace expectations are changing what it delivers, sustainability is changing how buildings are managed — and leadership is changing what FM professionals are expected to contribute. Four sessions, each pairing a main-stage presentation with a panel discussion.
The forces driving FM's shift — from Covid and changing workplace expectations to technology, ESG and growing stakeholder demands — and what an expanding remit means for the future of the profession.
AI, data and smart building technologies are transforming how facilities are managed. This session will explore how organisations are using technology to improve efficiency, optimise building performance and support better decision-making, while considering the skills and challenges needed to make digital transformation successful.
As workplace expectations continue to evolve, FM plays an increasingly important role in creating environments that support collaboration, wellbeing and productivity. This session will examine how organisations are adapting to hybrid working and redefining the purpose of the workplace.
Facilities management is becoming central to delivering sustainability goals through better asset performance, energy efficiency and building optimisation. This session will explore how organisations are balancing ESG ambitions with the practical realities of managing and improving existing buildings.
The role of the FM leader is expanding beyond operational delivery to include workplace strategy, sustainability, technology and organisational resilience. This session will explore the challenges facing today's leaders and the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing environment.
A working room of leaders, teams and partners — the panels, the questions, and the networking that make the day.
