FMJ is IFMA's flagship magazine, written by and for workplace professionals. Produced six times a year, it includes in-depth articles on FM best practices. IFMA members receive the interactive digital magazine via email and can access archives online. Copies of FMJ are also available in print (US$48 per year for IFMA members; US$84 per year for nonmembers).
Emailed every other Thursday, The WIRE keeps IFMA members in-the-know about the latest updates from the association. The WIRE's digest-style format offers a glimpse into what's on the horizon for IFMA (upcoming events, new educational opportunities and association developments), and issues are archived online for member-only access.
Delivered to IFMA's full membership each Friday, the IFMA Insider e-newsbrief delivers the week's hottest FM news and business trends from global news and top industry resources around the web. In addition to the global IFMA Insider, IFMA publishes four regionally focused newsbriefs combining local news articles and chapter events as well as a leadership component specific to IFMA members in Canada and the U.S. Northeast, Southern and West Coast regions.
As one of the association's strategic competencies, IFMA is dedicated to the ongoing accumulation and analysis of data related to trends in the facility management industry. From industry surveys to forecasting to benchmarking reports, IFMA's research draws on the practices and opinions of FM professionals and educators, covering topics vital to the day-to-day operations of facility professionals and the built environment. Research reports are available for purchase via the IFMA store (IFMA members receive discounted pricing).
In addition to more formal research reports, IFMA produces white papers in conjunction with industry thought leaders on emerging trends within the FM industry. IFMA’s Environmental Stewardship, Utilities and Sustainability Strategic Advisory Group also produces a series of white papers that provide data and information associated with a wide range of subjects related to sustainable facility management. These resources are available to download for free on IFMA's Knowledge Library.
IFMA sells additional publications written for our organization and by other FM experts through the online IFMA store.
