International. Coming from different parts of the world, the congress was erected as a space for debate and exchange of experiences and knowledge among building management professionals.
The International Congress of Facility Managers, which, in its third edition in Spain, has already become a reference for professionals in the sector. The event, organized by CIFMERS GLOBAL, was held at the Goya Theater in Madrid and was attended by more than 400 people.
In these two days, Madrid was the focus of the Facility Managers, who had the opportunity to share knowledge about the discipline through different activities.
20 speakers and 5 moderators occupied the stage table to present their experiences in the world of Facility Management and Real Estate. The first block of the congress focused on the Spanish sphere and was moderated by Vicente Redondo, president of the Spanish chapter of IFMA (International Facility Management Association). After the first block, it was the turn of the technical presentations, where service providers presented success stories that they have developed in the market.
CIFMers 2016 also hosted euroFM's annual Memebers Meeting. On this occasion, the members of the association were able to meet in working groups to plan their activity and also voted for their next Chairman for the period 2017-2018. Pekka Matvejeff was elected to this position.
Matvejeff opened the second day of the congress and gave a talk in which he shared his life dedicated to Facility Management and made the audience reflect on the personal skills that will be needed in 2020.
Throughout the congress, the Collaborative Wall was present in the entrance hall to the auditorium. In it, participants could register projects that they were developing or that they wanted to develop so that other professionals could join them and achieve their objectives.
The Congress, once again, was formed as a space for debate and exchange of experiences and knowledge among professionals in the sector. This enthusiasm to strengthen the Facility Management sector will also be the one that will lead next year the EFMC (European Facility Management Conference), the annual conference promoted by EuroFM and IFMA, which will be organized by CIFMERS GLOBAL and will take place on April 26 and 27 in Madrid.
