THE FACILITIES EVENT: LIVE GUIDE
THE FACILITIES EVENT: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The industry’s first live event returns to the NEC, Birmingham on 7th-9th September 2021. Here we tell you exactly what you should know before attending the event.
As live exhibitions return to the UK, The Facilities Event at the NEC, Birmingham, 7th-9th September 2021 will be the first opportunity for the entire UK facilities management community and its supply chain to get together.
With the UK workforce set to favour a blend of office and non-office working in the future, the central theme to the show will be what a post-COVID world looks like for the industry. Workplace and facilities managers sit at the very heart of that debate and the show will be an opportunity for organisations and the facilities supply chain to collaborate to share best practice, design the future business models and discuss the wider implications of this shift. Alongside this will be familiar topics to the industry such as climate change, social value, smart technologies and skills development.
All of this will be delivered through an expanded and enhanced trade show, supported by Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) and Closed Systems Control Association the event will feature over 100 exhibitors including Altuity Solutions Ltd, Chemiteq, City Sprint, Humanscale, INEOS, Screwfix, Idox, Numatics, Accruent, P&I, Pickfords, Trade Point and SpaceVac and many more.
