FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Curated by the team behind FMJ, Facilities & Estates Management Live, takes place on the 7-8th of October at the Business Design Centre in London
The inaugural Facilities & Estates Management Live is unique to other shows in the industry in being focused solely on Facilities and Estates Management. This means it will be closely tailored to what FMs want to see, do and learn, with insightful seminar sessions and products and services that are most relevant to FMs.
Supporting this bespoke approach, Facilities & Estates Management Live has forged key partnerships from within the built environment, including industry associations, The Institute of Workplace & Facilities Management (IWFM), the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). We’re also pleased to announce our headline sponsor is CBRE, the global leader in commercial real estate services and investment.
