In a move towards promoting increased professionalisation and recognition for facilities management as an established profession, Facilities Show introduces the new CPD Seminar Theatre in association with the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) and sponsored by The PURE Water Company.

As the industry becomes ever more fast-paced and subject to increasing levels of legislation, the need for continuing professional development is essential for all ambitious facilities managers.

This revised content will reflect a move within the FM industry towards increased professionalisation and officially recognised development.

Also new to the show is the Facilities Forum, sponsored by Planon Software; hosting leading industry speakers addressing key issues on the FM agenda, providing thought provoking insight on issues including compliance, security, risk management and cost control.

A record 250 exhibitors are expected, reflecting the scale and diversity of this growing sector. Visitors will be able to engage with companies and service providers from the worlds of energy management, maintenance, security, vending, parking, waste management, information technology, cleaning, health & safety, interiors, office management and sustainability.

The show's biggest ever networking bar will provide the perfect environment for meetings, and the Facilities Management Association (FMA) is set to hold their May networking event at the show.
