    #18. Net Zero Delusion - Are We Walking in to a Net Zero Failure in 2050?

    Is the Facilities Management industry’s Net Zero ambition a game-changing goal or an illusion? This unmissable session cuts through the greenwashing to explore whether the sector is truly on track to deliver sustainable results. Are we tackling emissions head-on, or are we outsourcing the problem? How do bold targets align with the reality of operations on the ground? With open and honest debate, we’ll expose the challenges, discuss practical solutions, and ask if the industry is setting itself up for success—or failure. Come prepared to question everything you thought you knew about FM and Net Zero.

    #14. IM and Strategic Asset Management as the Gateway to an Optimised Built Environment

    Much discussion is currently taking place about AI and the sector’s readiness and optimisation of AI, when at the same time there is an existing maintenance backlog amounting to an eyewatering £49 billion bill for the Government. The recent NAO report highlighting this issue pointed at two key areas: a lack of accurate data and the lack of a comprehensive strategy around asset management.  The discussion will emphasise the need for an industry-led approach on both information management and strategic asset management, touching on the important developments that are taking place such as the Information Management Initiative.  Gain a deeper understanding of how robust standards can support effective decision-making and long-term resilience in the built environment.

    #13. Is DEI Dead? – Is the Corporate Tide Changing Tact to Move Away from DEI Commitments?

    With a growing movement from large corporations to denounce their DEI practices we ask; is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Facilities Management a driving force for change or an initiative past its prime? In this bold discussion, we explore whether DEI has lost its momentum in the FM and property sectors. Is it still a priority, or has it been overshadowed by shifting agendas and budget cuts?  This session doesn’t shy away from controversy—uncover the truth behind the rhetoric, question the status quo, and hear from voices across the industry. Join us to challenge assumptions and debate whether DEI in FM is thriving, struggling, or in need of a complete reinvention.
