Forward-thinking education. Global networking. Smarter solutions.

IFMA’s World Workplace Conference & Expo is the largest, most longstanding and well-respected annual conference and exposition for facility management and related professions. Each year offers a new experience, addressing challenges and strategies that are universal to every facility type, shape and size.

Programming focuses on proven methods, strategies and solutions for heightening facility performance, directing efficient workplace programs, and becoming a more effective leader.

Smarter facilities. Smarter facility management.

New technologies, sustainability, energy-efficiency, responsible business practices and financial prudence are contributing to the increasing “intelligence” of the workplace. Those who support the workplace must understand it in order to maintain the authority to direct workplace programs.

IFMA’s World Workplace addresses current and future issues and challenges that impact facility management. What you learn, discuss and take away gives you the power to lead change, not be led by it.

World Workplace arms you with reliable information, demonstrated best practices and field-tested strategies so you’re better prepared to adapt to change, adjust to redefined skills and services, and advance your career.
