Top 5 Reasons to Attend

For the Facility Professional or FM Team:

For the Employer:

1. You need to stay in shape...professionally.

High-performance buildings equates to smarter buildings. Don't be outwitted—stay sharp by staying on top of the trends and advancements that impact facility management.

Your ability to make intelligent decisions and well-researched recommendations that directly benefit the triple bottom line elevates your value.

1. Strengthen your competitive advantage.

Those who attend bring back proven strategies for better management of facilities, teams and projects—that information benefits your entire organization.

Those who do not attend miss out on the latest advice for improving facility performance—that lack of information impairs your organization.

2. You need to get out more.

Tired of the same old solutions to the same old problems? No time to research best practices or track industry trends? Tired of talking to yourself in dark corridors?

Talk shop with other FMs. Share notes with others who have dealt with similar facility issues. Compare processes and programs, and bring new ideas back to the office for discussion or implementation.

2. Heighten productivity, improve operations.

Attendees can tailor a learning program directly applicable to their responsibilities and their employers' expectations.

Gaining a better understanding of the workplace allows attendees to make better recommendations, direct beneficial workplace programs, and introduce more efficient, more cost-effective products and practices to your organization.

3. You can personalize your daily program.

You know what improvements need to be made. You know what your performance expectations are. You know what keeps you up at night.

Select sessions that address specific issues you're facing and programs you're overseeing right now in your facility. Return to your office with a better understanding of how to solve current and future problems.

3. Rethink workplace practices and programs.

Attendees benefit from the experiences and insights of their peers and the leading topic experts in the industry.

It's an opportunity to find out first-hand what's worked for others in their facilities. It's an opportunity to discover field-tested solutions that you and your FM haven't thought of before.

4. Sooo many people want to see you.

From fellow IFMA members to exhibitors and IFMA staff, you're in demand! After a day of learning, relax with colleagues at a number of fun (and beneficial) activities.

You work hard all year. You've earned the chance to spend some quality time with friends in your professional community.

4. Save money.

If you've already realized savings from a few higher efficiency efforts (changing the light bulbs?), then imagine what you can achieve under the guidance of a skilled and informed professional!

Better managed facilities results in higher performing systems and staff.

5. No other immediate FM event is hosted by IFMA.

Facility Fusion is hosted by the association that exists solely to support the FM profession. IFMA provides the profession with the finest educational, informational and networking resources available.

Don't settle for anything less.

5. Get the most value out of one registration.

A single investment in one Full Event registration could benefit your FM team and your entire staff.

Attendees will bring back notes and speaker handouts, sharing what they learned with you and their co-workers. Use this information to spark constructive discussions your workplace.
