IFMA’s Best Practices Forum 2008

July 21 -22, 2008
The Vanguard Group, Valley Forge, Pa., USA

Experience a one-of-a-kind IFMA event in which you and your peers set the agenda!

Be a part of a truly a unique experience—IFMA’s Best Practices Forum is a fully interactive event in which the participants provide all of the material for discussion! Join your peers for two days of knowledge sharing, networking and facility tours. Explore a variety of FM practices and how they have made a measurable impact on organizations managed by your fellow facility professionals. Forum attendees learn effective new facility practices that can be implemented immediately.

The Forum will be held at The Vanguard Group—one of the world’s largest investment companies—in  Valley Forge, Pa., about 20 miles outside of historic Philadelphia. We’ll meet at Vanguard’s one-million sq. ft. headquarter campus. See first-hand how Vanguard meets their mission of providing high-quality facility management and real estate services at the lowest reasonable cost in an environmentally conscious manner. The second day of the Forum, we will tour Radnor Middle School, a recently completed LEED®-NC project.

To participate in the meeting, all attendees are asked to provide material for a short best practice briefing to occur each afternoon. Click here for this year's Topics and Agenda.

This event is limited to 50 participants. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from your peers and gain strategies you can implement at your facility!
