Workplace Futures is a break-through event for every organisation concerned about property and how it will deliver the work environment critical to corporate success over the next five years.

The conference programme is unique - but so are the ways in which we are delivering the content. Workplace Futures is truly interactive: a first for the industry. Delegates can participate in this important event in two ways. Join us at the London Stock Exchange on the day to network, listen, discuss and vote interactvely with hand-held devices.

Or, join us virtually to participate online, watch the webcast of the full event (or selected sessions) and vote in real-time with the other delegates attending the conference.

This is a landmark event for the industry - and we want the entire industry to be able to participate. We appreciate not everyone can get out of the office or into London for the day. That's why we've created a virtual alternative. And if the day doesn't work for you at all, the webcasts will be archived and made available later.

The Workplace Futures Conference will address the critical issues facing the industry, both now and in the run-up to 2012. Nothing stands still for long in property or facilities management. Our expert speakers have been selected for their skill in spotting trends and ability in advising on how to prepare for coming challenges. The future-shaping topics on the agenda include:

• The global issue of climate change, environmental impact and what this means in the UK, including UK plc’s ability to become sustainable and simultaneously remain competitive.
  
  
• The growing pressure on the workplace environment as both costs and mobility increase, bringing new strategic opportunities – and risks – into the picture.
  
  
• The urgent need to reduce energy consumption and improve the management of all resources, especially in existing property stock, leading to unprecedented demands on design, installation and maintenance capabilities.
  
  
• The traditional tender process for new contracts is costly and often an unsatisfactory experience for both client and provider. New approaches to procurement that better meet the needs of both sides can bring considerable benefit.
  
  
• The convergence of property services and facilities management is the way forward for many organisations – but who will shape the solution: buyers or sellers?

And, to ensure the greatest diversity of views and discussion, the last session of the programme will be made freely available to everyone in the industry. Log in and join in the debate. Vote on key critical issues and have your opinions count.
