Facility focus

May 2024 News & Events


Mark Anderson

The Facilities Management Seminar Theatre, hosted at Facilities Management Expo is an excellent opportunity for market professionals to extend their knowledge on current trends and regulations within the FM sector. Held with the co-located Securex South Africa, A-OSH EXPO, and Firexpo 2024 at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand from 11 to 13 June 2024, Facilities Management Expo is the premier destination for facility and building managers seeking products and services to optimise the efficiency of their facilities and maximise employee comfort and satisfaction.

“We are excited about the diversity and depth of the topics at this year’s Facilities Management Seminar Theatre. We have several well-known speakers who will share their experience and expertise by tackling current industry challenges and their solutions,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions — a division of Montgomery Group.

“SAFMA regards the partnership with Facilities Management Expo as highly beneficial to the FM industry. The expo gives those people working in the industry the opportunity to connect with not only the exhibitors who have a wide range of solutions available, but furthermore with SAFMA, as we represent their interests and assist them in staying on top of what is available to assist them in their quest for products and services that will make their facilities run more smoothly. There is a fine balance between maintaining a building to suitable standards, and staying within budget as operational costs continue to rise. Customers have bigger expectations in terms of service, regulatory compliance, and budget constraints. We believe that technology enables these three factors to be met, and the FM Expo is the perfect platform to drive this. In addition, the Facilities Management Seminar Theatre is a wonderful forum for visitors to get a front seat to topical issues in the industry,” says Johan Burger, Vice-Chairman of SAFMA.

Organisations wishing to exhibit at Facilities Management Expo 2024 can contact the Facilities Management Expo team on zelda.jordaan@montgomerygroup.com to book a space or capitalise on a sponsorship opportunity.
