The show will again be held in association with the British Institute of Facilities Management and this year partnered with commercial property and real estate services adviser CBRE, creating a flagship event supported by the industry that tackles the critical issues facing those working within FM.

Future Trends Zone

In this area of the show floor you’ll find products and solutions that focus on the future of FM and witness demonstrations that give examples of their implementation. There will be a mix of both exhibiting suppliers and non-exhibiting vendors.

Enhance your knowledge

The Facilities Show Seminar Theatre and the Keynote Theatre will examine all the key issues in facilities management. The tailored programme delivers insights from industry experts, as well as real case studies and developments from senior FMs.

Charlotte Wright, senior content manager for Protection & Management, said: “A wealth of years of research with the FM community has resulted in the most focused programme that Facilities Show has had yet. Stages this year will welcome a mix of truly inspirational stories from our headline speakers with practical and insightful sessions from industry trailblazers and trainers.”

Inspirational keynotes

Headlining the programme of more than 50+ speakers, this year’s speakers will be focusing on the theme of strength, resilience and defying the odds. Each speaker will deliver a session on the obstacles they faced, solutions they found and how the results allowed them to march on.

Double Olympic gold medallist Dame Kelly Holmes will speak on Tuesday 20th June from 11.30 – 12.30, rock star Professor Brian Cox OBE will speak on Wednesday 21st June from 11.30 – 12.30 and Falklands War veteran Simon Weston CBE will speak on Thursday 22nd June at 11.30 – 12.30.

Networking Hub 
New for 2017, the Facilities Networking Hub and Games Arcade will be two areas of the show floor not to be missed. Providing all FMs with the opportunity to grow the professional community among like-minded peers over a drink while discussing current projects or during a game of pool. Networking sessions will be hosted by industry groups like FM North and The Hill Club on top FM and property trends for 2017 and beyond.
