The conference is a three-day gathering of facility professionals, educators, students and companies for the continued advancement of the profession. Prior to 1995, World Workplace was known as the IFMA Conference and Exposition.
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 trade show 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.
