Learn about the latest compliance measures, energy efficiency initiatives and the impact of IoT on buildings at Total Facilities 2018 to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Convention & Exhibition Centre from April 18-19, 2018.

These are just a few of the topics to be addressed at this year's Total Facilities event as speakers focus on the top issues facing the facilities management industry now and into the future.

The first round of the speaker line-up was announced last month and includes Adam Beck, executive director at the Smart Cities Council Australia & NZ, Preeti Bajaj, VP Commercial Transformation & Smart Cities at Schneider Electric and Nathan Sri, director Workplace Strategy & Change at JLL.

The speaker series will run across two dedicated areas, the ‘Business Solutions Stage’ and KONE Smart Buildings Theatre.

As improving energy standards and digital disruption set to dominate the speaker series, attendees at this year’s event should expect to see exciting innovations and product launches that will help FMs save and better manage energy resources and protect themselves against an array of digital threats.

The new Smart Zone will be a thriving hub of technological innovation which presents new technologies and solutions to help create smarter, greener buildings.

“According to industry research, IoT technologies will be more pervasive in smart commercial buildings than anywhere else over the next three years,” according to Andrew Lawson, Total Facilities event manager.

“Highlighted with the Smart Zone, Total Facilities is designed to deliver visitors industry-class solutions and strategic advice on how to use technology and data to better understand and manage building performance.”

Renowned experts, academics and thought leaders will share practical insight into the industry’s top challenges and opportunities, and up to 150 brands including Dyson, dormakaba, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and Service Works Global will unveil the latest and most innovative FM products and services on the exhibition floor.

“FM professionals need to stay ahead of the latest insights, trends and innovations in order to best understand the industry’s challenges and opportunities. We are thrilled to have a great line up of partners and exhibitors already on board for Total Facilities 2018,” Lawson said.
