This session will explore how facilities teams can reduce risk, avoid unexpected costs, and streamline compliance by adopting a smarter approach to electrical safety. Using real-world case studies, Volta Compliance will demonstrate how its ECaaS solution helps organisations stay on top of statutory responsibilities, digitise records, and track remedial works across sites. The platform features a live compliance dashboard, giving users real-time insight into current status and enabling them to identify and address gaps across single or multi-site operations. We’ll also outline key electrical compliance services – including EICRs, emergency lighting, and thermal imaging – and how ECaaS adds transparency, efficiency, and long-term value.

This presentation looks to explain what AI is, what it isn’t and how it can be used in the context of CAFM software. Most people will have heard of ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini by now, but how does this really translate into anything useful for facilities management? Some basic examples will be explored before focussing on AI ‘Agents’ and their potential to revolutionise CAFM software.

Facilities Managers today face tighter budgets, rising costs and broader responsibilities, from ESG compliance to staff wellbeing. This session explores how FM leaders can adapt and turn suppliers into strategic partners. Kate and Paul will examine how to balance cost pressures, such as energy volatility and labour increases, while proving ROI through tech-enabled solutions like performance dashboards and chemical dosing systems.

Kate and Paul will also address the ongoing labour shortages and skills gaps and how learning management tools can help bridge them. Real-world insights and case studies from Jangro’s clients will bring the challenges and solutions to life, with actionable takeaways to drive efficiency, value and long-term resilience in FM operations.

Cybersecurity threats come from many sources—some are malicious, others are accidental or due to negligence. While external attacks often get the most attention, insider threats are a growing and often overlooked danger.

In this 30-minute presentation, Andy Compton, CEO and Principal Consultant at leading cybersecurity consultancy Cortida, explores the critical issue of insider threats. He will cover:

• What insider threats are 
• Why they pose a serious risk 
• What motivates insiders to act 
• How to identify early warning signs 
• Best practices for managing and reducing insider risk 

Join Andy to gain practical insights and strategies to better protect your organisation from threats that come from within.

Building managers often struggle to optimise energy consumption due to a lack of understanding of key drivers and a tendency to prioritize costly capital investments over immediate operational improvements. Current energy consultancy typically operates in isolation, lacking the operational expertise crucial for successful and sustainable implementation of savings.

The AIM Energy Savings Pathway offers a comprehensive solution. Its platform simplifies the process into three steps: identifying over-consumption, detailing costed remedial actions, and continuously analysing building performance to ensure sustained savings. AIM provides a single pathway and delivery partner, from initial investigation through implementation and ongoing management. Insights are benchmarked against industry standards (CIBSE TM46), and all recommendations are backed by operational capability. This approach consistently identifies significant energy savings, with most recommendations achieving ROI in under 12 months, ensuring the long-term sustainability of reduced energy consumption.

The Grenfell Tower phase 2 report highlighted several inadequacies around fire risk assessment of buildings, relating to a lack of identification of serious fire risks, poor levels of competency, an over-reliance on assumptions, a failure to follow up on critical fire risks and a lack of mandatory qualifications and suitable training for those undertaking fire risk assessments. This talk will highlight some of the proposed changes to improve, competency of fire risk assessors, the level of detail and comprehension of fire risk assessments and fire risk assessments becoming holistic and active documents in place throughout the lifespan of a building. With the BSI also publishing,  ‘BS 8674: Built Environment- Framework for Competence of Individual Fire Risk Assessors’ this will provide crucial guidance on the competence criteria for individuals conducting fire risk assessments in occupied buildings, moving the sector away from an unregulated industry where definitions of ‘competent’ are open to interpretations.

The way people work has changed dramatically in recent years. Yet, many organisations continue to support their office-based employees in the same old way: on guesswork, standardised setups and outdated assumptions. In this session, Matt Bailey will examine the pitfalls of this one-size-fits-all approach to workspace management, drawing on primary data from IT decision makers. Building on these insights, Matt will outline a path forward, one that embraces configurable, human-centric workspace design.

Facilities and estates teams sit at the crossroads of space, compliance, and cost pressure. Yet many organisations still juggle overflowing document rooms, slow retrieval times, and one‑size‑fits‑all digitisation projects that drain budgets. This presentation introduces the phygital approach—Restore Information Management’s proven blend of physical and digital records management that keeps what must stay on paper safely off‑site while giving teams instant, secure digital access to the information they use most.
