Facilitating facilities
Exhibitors and speakers from across the facilities management industry will be taking part in this year’s Facilities Management event in Birmingham
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL launch last year, Facilities Management 2015 returns to the NEC in Birmingham for its second edition on 24-26 March 2015. The event last year atracted more than 4,365 atendees, and this year’s promises to include more exhibitors, show features and guest speakers. Katie Crocombe, Facilities
Management event manager, says: “The feedback about our debut show last year was fantastic. It just reiterated to us that there was a largely untapped facilities management community outside London. In such a fast- moving sector it is crucial that the information we provide is top drawer, which is why we are expanding the exhibition floor, continuing the successful co- locations with relevant industry shows and providing a high- quality seminar programme. Those within the industry shouldn’t let this show pass them by: they should jump on board!” Facilities Management
2015 will again run alongside Maintec – for the maintenance, plant and asset management industry – and The Health & Safety Event run by Western Business Exhibitions. Visitors will be able to access all three shows with one badge and take part in free-to-atend educational seminars, watch show-floor entertainment and meet industry expert and exhibitors looking to launch new technologies and concepts to the UK market.
