FM industry preparing for Total Workplace Management 2010

With the remit for Facilities Managers constantly expanding, Total Workplace Management 2010 at London’s Olympia will once again offer these professionals a chance to address all their needs through the extensive exhibition and innovative features. Produced in association with the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM), the UK’s leading FM and estates event is taking place from 6-7 October at London Olympia.

 

Adrian Newton, Portfolio Director for Safety and Building Management at UBM Live, organisers of Total Workplace Management, said: “We work closely with the leading associations and companies in this evolving industry and as such, we know the remit for facilities managers is growing on a daily basis. With the number of visitors increasing 18%* last year, we will be expanding the visitor programme to incorporate all the disciplines required to carry out effective management of a working building.”

 

In addition to the exhibition which will once again be the platform for many of the industry’s leading names to showcase their developments, including Bywaters (Leyton) Limited, Coca-Cola, Comet, FSI, Watco UK Limited and Wincanton, Total Workplace Management will launch the Innovation Showcase for 2010. This exciting feature area will sit at the heart of the event and give visitors the chance to see the latest and best innovations available in the industry. Further details will be announced shortly.

 

Education will once again take centre stage at the event with two dedicated seminar theatres on the exhibition floor. The FM Academy will host more than 10 hours of free seminars to provide insight, practical information and direction to help put a business’s sustainability roadmap into practice.

 

The Health & Safety Seminar Theatre, supported by SHP, will give visitors the chance to keep up-to-date with the latest legislation and discover the newest advances in safety and FM.

 

Total Workplace Management will also contain a variety of features to make everyone’s visit as beneficial as possible. These include a Managing Safety & Health Area, which will host a variety of exhibitors providing health and safety products, the Green FM Trail, which will highlight those companies offering sustainable solutions, and a Recycling Centre which will ensure the event remains sustainable.
