About us

Facilities & Estates Management Live, will offer a strong seminar programme put together in the same editorial style, heavily promoted to the FMJ audience and is sure to attract a large number of FMJ subscribers.

To complement this, we also have some key partners on board which include industry associations, such as The Institute of Workplace & Facilities Management (IWFM) and The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and our well-respected media partners i-FM.net and the FM Forum, with the show promoted to their members & subscribers.

Facilities & Estates Management Live is sure to be of great interest to key decision makers in FM, Estates, Property & Real Estate, Workplace, and all aligning spaces.

New to Facilities Management

It is important to promote FM to new entrants and promote the industry as a career of choice. The show aims to engage the next generation who will be improving workplaces for the benefit of businesses, the economy and the wider society.

Facilities & Estates Management Live is a great opportunity for rising FMs to network and learn. For individuals new to the industry, attending our event which is dedicated to the needs and interests of Facilities Managers will provide an opportunity to expand knowledge and upskill for new duties or challenges.

Network

A poll of our readers revealed FMs felt that there was a lack of focused exhibitions for them to visit, view, learn and meet. Additionally, the lack of an event dedicated to Facilities Managers created a feeling that FM lacked its own brand.

This event is a great opportunity to forge long-lasting relationships, share knowledge and engage and connect with like-minded professionals from various disciplines supporting facilities and estates experience.

 

A Dedicated Event

Unique to other shows in the industry, our event will be focused solely on Facilities and Estates Management and is designed to span the entirety of FM activity. It will be closely tailored to what FMs want to see, do and learn, with insightful seminar sessions and the opportunity to discover relevant products and services.

Post-Covid19, the inclusion of estates management in our show is increasingly relevant as FM and corporate real estate draw closer together on issues such as floorspace, achieving net zero and the future of the wider estates sector.

OVER A QUARTER OF EMPLOYEES FEEL LONELY OR ISOLATED AT WORK

CAN FOOD & DRINK BE THE NEW “SOCIAL GLUE”

The shift to remote work during the pandemic redefined work-life balance and transformed the traditional workplace model. For many it brought flexibility and the ability to balance work and life more effectively, but in turn it has fostered a new level of isolation, where 27% of employees now report feeling lonely at work*

Loneliness in the workplace has long been a significant, yet often overlooked issue, and research over the past several decades highlights its profound impact on people’s health and well-being. The absence of in-person interactions means reduced social connections and that sense of community that often comes with a permanent office setting. BMC Public Health states that loneliness carries a mortality risk comparable to that of smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity, highlighting that social connection isn’t just a nicety—it’s now a necessity.

A recent report titled The Power of Socialisation, initiated by the Global Eating at Work 2023 study, brought home this fact, and has also highlighted how food and drink can play a crucial role as the “social glue” in the modern workplace. Nearly half of employees said they wanted to socialise with their colleagues more often and 92% said workplace events should include food and beverages. With hybrid working models flourishing, employees are increasingly selective about their in-office days, emphasising that these should offer genuine value, especially in fostering social connections.

Bringing it back to the office. 

In this report, employees expressed a desire for more frequent short breaks throughout their working day – wanting to use this time to leverage food and beverage (F&B) facilities to connect with colleagues. There was also a strong preference for a broad selection of culinary options to be provided, to celebrate diversity and encourage inclusivity among coworkers. “Having food and drink facilities at work encourages weekly social lunches for 74% of employees, compared to 48% without F&B amenities”.
