Workplace Futures – The FM Conference – 22nd February 2022
Annual conference for the FM and Property sectors
About Workplace Futures
Workplace Futures is returning to a live in-person event at One Great George Street, London, SW1.
First launched in 2007, each year’s event has a different theme, with the programme carefully designed to focus closely on current and emerging issues at the time. We always aim to bring together some of the best speakers available to shed light, share information, and provide insights and advice that have real value. Read about past programmes here.
The theme for February 2020 is FM & Sustainability: the social, environmental and commercial challenge
Sustainability is a huge topic – broad in scope, critical in importance, and replete with both opportunity and risk. In commercial terms, sustainability aims to achieve the balance between economic, environmental and social impacts through the effective management of resources while maximising organisational profitability.
February’s programme will be structured around the three key topics of the day: social, environmental and commercial – all three representing both opportunities and challenges.

“Workplace Futures is one of the only ‘must-attend’ events in the FM calendar because it is unafraid to position industry disruptors alongside thought-provoking leaders – and then demand that the audience joins in to debate the issues. The networking is superb, too.”
“The Workplace Futures conference consistently challenges the thinking in our industry and provides the platform for consideration of best-practice concepts. Never afraid to be contentious and challenge the status quo, this is achieved not for the sake of it but to really move things forwards.”
“The Workplace Futures conference is an anchor event in my calendar. For me, it’s the thinking person’s FM event – it doesn’t have to cater for a broad church of junior members with “FM For Dummies” sessions, but is pitched at a level which engages and challenges the senior figures in the sector, as is evidenced by its delegate-list of decision-makers (this makes for some of the most interesting and useful networking).
The conference programmers clearly have their fingers on the pulse, working hard each year to identify the issues of the day and the important trends. The presenters are high-quality and their content is challenging, plus the snappy slots mean that no one gets to drone on for too long.
On-trend topics with skilled, engaging presenters and a high-level audience lead to great interaction and dialogue. This is a don’t-miss day.”
"Workplace Futures is one of the few events I make every year because it focuses on the core of performance and leadership, coupled with great insight. The one-time move to online will be sustainable, I’m sure – I’ll be there for the content - but I can’t wait for the face-to-face conference to resume. I have been a supporter of i-FM.net and this conference from the very early days as the best source of industry insight."
"Workplace Futures remains the most relevant and challenging FM conference of the year, a conference that is not afraid to tackle the key issues of the day head on. Workplace Futures combines high quality content with a desire to engage and stimulate audience participation and debate. As a past panellist, presenter and attendee, Workplace Futures always offers great content, significant opportunities to network and is delivered in a relaxed, engaging but highly professional way."
