BIFM Annual Conference

30th March to 1st April 2004, Queens College, Cambridge

The BIFM Annual Conference has always provided a showcase for the latest developments in facilities management theory and practice. And by bringing people together to share these ideas it has always acted as a catalyst for the growth of facilities management as a strategic business discipline.

The 2004 Conference will bring together business leaders from the UK and around the world to meet and share the very latest thinking on FM Excellence. The programme focuses on both private sector businesses and public sector bodies.

The themes of the 2004 Conference reflect the potential of facilities managers to add value to their organisations. Interactive sessions will explore ideas and examples of best practice in facilities strategy, partnerships, operational services, international and sustainable FM. Case studies will highlight the application of cutting edge ideas. There is also a focus on new markets and new service opportunities.
