What is World Workplace?

The annual conference and exposition of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), World Workplace encompasses the vast educational and networking opportunities available through the Association year-round. IFMA’s knowledge and resources are consolidated into a three-day, world-class gathering of facility professionals, educators, students and companies for the continued advancement of the profession.

IFMA designed World Workplace as a collaborative forum for facility managers and those in related fields to discuss, evaluate, share and grow, both personally and professionally. The World Workplace experience includes a conference focused entirely on education and a unique tradeshow that incorporates product demonstration and instruction.

World Workplace draws attendees from all over the world and from a variety of workplace-related industries, including technology, engineering, architecture, design, security, real estate and facility management. Attendees are able to experience the best of what IFMA has to offer in one location.

The enduring success of this event is based both on IFMA's reputation as the ultimate resource for facility management and the variety of industries represented in the educational sessions and on the Expo floor. IFMA partners with other highly respected organizations in order to bring attendees the most well-rounded educational experience available.
