‘The Sustainable FM Academy’ will feature a number of environmental themed sessions taking place over three days providing visitors with the opportunity to debate the two vital topics in every major building - energy and waste management. Each day will begin with presentations from expert keynote speakers, followed by a series of educational presentations and finish with panel debates, featuring the country’s most respected FM professionals. The Carbon Trust, Connaught, Royal Sun Alliance, Land Securities, Trillium, Amaryllis, Sims Group and Charterhouse Energy are just some of the major companies taking part.

‘The Facilities Show Seminar Theatre’ will look at the changing role of the facilities manager, legislation compliance and site protection, with presentations from leading industry authorities including the British Security Industry Association, Service Works, Expolink, Reloc8, IM Serv, Asset Skills and Dalkia.

Ian R Fielder, CEO of the British Institute of Facilities Management says, “The BIFM is pleased to support The Facilities Show again in 2008. Every year the event delivers new and innovative ideas to create efficient, effective and environmental workplaces in a unique business environment. With FMs constantly looking to refresh their knowledge, we look forward to the return of the seminar theatre and the programme it has to offer. We are especially happy to support the launch of the new Sustainable FM Academy and look forward to the content it will deliver on arguably the most important issue in the industry today.”

Vincent Brain, event manager of The Facilities Show comments, “Our aim is that all attendees will not only leave the exhibition with knowledge but most importantly, solutions that can be applied to their own businesses. As the role of the facilities manager continues to evolve it becomes even more important for them to have a platform to learn about changes in workplace management.”

The Facilities Show adjoins security event IFSEC and Safety & Health Expo, all taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 12/13-15 May 2008.
