Call for Papers at greater China FM
Greater China Facilities Management Conference 2011 has formally opened its call for speaker papers, sponsors and delegate registrations. Already attracting interest from top companies in the region we invite top experts globally to join our educational programme presenting alongside international keynotes on the hottest topics facing the industry.
The conference will focus largely on commercial FM but we appreciate innovative suggestions from all areas. The conference theme is harnessing the power of FM as the industry goes through a revolution taking its place as a fully recognised pillar of the corporate property arena.
Property and facilities management in China is undergoing a revolution – covering multiple disciplines such as maintenance, security, E&M (electrical and mechanical engineering), energy management, health and safety, heating and cooling, cleaning and space strategy, the race for best practice is on.
Millions of dollars are wasted each year due to using outmoded techniques and lack of understanding as to how these functions can work together for the benefit of the entire organisation. International corporations and local companies competing in the international market place have realised the efficiencies that managing their real estate and plants in a strategic and proactive way can impact both top an bottom line.
