FACILITIES SEMINARS
With fast-emerging new technologies such as green energy management and smart buildings, and challenges such as workplace wellbeing rising to the fore, Facilities Show also lets you access critical thought leadership and insights from industry leaders. A programme of over 100 CPD-accredited educational sessions has been designed to help you remain at the forefront of industry knowledge.
Facilities Show 2019 has a brand-new agenda of seminars, presentations, case studies and panel discussions covering some of the most important topics and developments within the profession. These range from flexible working, office design and mental health to AI and office moves, each taking place over three days in one of four dedicated theatres: the Keynote Arena, Smart Building Expo’s ‘Educate’ theatre, the Workplace Wellbeing Theatre and the Facilities Management Theatre.
Many of the seminars focus on crucial developments within mental and physical health and wellbeing, reflecting the profession’s renewed interest in these areas. At the Workplace Wellbeing Show, for instance, sessions will cover nutrition, drugs and alcohol, fatigue and mindfulness. There will also be real-world case studies, including Oakwood Training’s 12-month effort to improve wellbeing at retailer Next, and Siemen’s transformative ‘Talk to Me’ initiative to facilitate conversations about mental health.
Although a significant emphasis is placed on workplace wellbeing on this year’s programme, a range of seminars and panels will discuss topics that apply across the entire profession and every industry. Highlights include:
