Set among palm trees and beaches, this year’s World Workplace promises to deliver even more of the exceptional value that has helped it grow into a premier global facility management event. In addition to world-class educational opportunities, inspirational speakers and a cutting-edge expo, this year’s event will benefit from IFMA’s collaboration with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), announced in April. As a result, attendees can expect even more powerful connections across FM disciplines to help them improve the facilities they manage and propel their careers forward.
