IWFM Conference 2021: Emerging stronger - date announced for hybrid event

News

Monday 13 September is the date of our flagship conference 2021. With the theme of ‘Emerging Stronger’ the hybrid event pairs a physical delegate experience with a digital one in a curated blend of world-renowned thought leadership and cutting-edge best practice.

Workplace and facilities management has come to and remained at the fore during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to its role on the front line, the conversation about how best to support remote working; the action to make spaces secure and safe; the innovation to create new types of productive spaces; and a better understanding about the importance of the spaces in which we work have spot-lit the profession and handed it an opportunity to position itself as a value generator.

Renowned expert contributors will help us explore how to build on this opportunity and the lessons of the pandemic and leverage the best from this C21st curve ball, Conference 2021 will provide both the inspiration and the information to help organisations and the wider profession emerge stronger.

Director of Insight and Engagement Chris Moriarty said:

“As professionals we all know how to adapt to our environment but last year probably stretched that idea further than any time in our careers; and it chimed perfectly with our theme of navigating turbulent times. We see 2021’s event as the start of a forward focused, positively charged evolution. So many lessons have emerged from the pandemic. It has accelerated change ideas. It has made us reconsider established models. Now is the time to assess, learn and use that experience to shape our new future and emerge stronger.

By combining world class speakers on key topics with leading practitioners to explore and showcase, we’ll help workplace and facilities managers to make best practice common practice.”

We can also announce our sponsors for the conference.
