Speakers Share Message of Defying the Odds, as Doors Open for Facilities Show

Strength, resilience and defying the odds are key themes being shared amongst the cleaning and FM industry as the doors open to Facilities Show 2017. Visitors to the world’s largest FM event, taking place at ExCeL London from 20-22 June, are set to join thousands of cleaning and FM peers to share innovation, network, source new products and services and learn from industry experts.

Headlining a seminar programme boasting more than 50 presenters, this year’s keynote speakers will talk about obstacles they have faced, solutions they have found and the results that have enabled them to advance. Visitors are set to be inspired by double Olympic gold medallist, Dame Kelly Holmes; physicist and TV science presenter, Professor Brian Cox OBE; rugby union referee, Nigel Owens MBE; and Falklands War veteran, Simon Weston OBE. Other experts sharing valuable cleaning and FM insights come from a wide range of business sectors, with topics including improving customer experience, total facilities management, and workplace design, productivity and well-being.

A multitude of suppliers, 50% of whom are new additions to Facilities Show, are exhibiting innovative products and services covering maintenance, waste management, mechanical and electrical, energy management, cleaning and much more. New for 2017 is the Future Trends area, where visitors can find some of the latest advances in cleaning and facilities management.

A new networking area is the FM Games Arcade where visitors can meet like-minded peers, and demonstrate their competitive skills, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The new look Society’s Fair gives visitors the opportunity to grow their professional community.

Launched this year, the Total FM Zone showcases some of the largest and most proficient brands providing total facilities solutions for those with multi-site responsibility. This space provides visitors with an avenue to detail their project needs and the option of outsourcing them, or the opportunity to discuss career paths within large integrated FMs.

Facilities Show badge holders will have access to security, fire, safety and service management expertise at five co-located events; providing a unique environment in which to do business, network and meet face-to-face with key decision makers.
