World Workplace is the only facility-focused educational and networking event on the planet backed by more than 30 years of experience, knowledge and a commitment to quality. World Workplace is hosted by the International Facility Management Association, the organization that has supported, represented and defined facility management for the past three decades Held at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, 2012, in San Antonio, Texas, IFMA's World Workplace 2012 will focus on the next phase of "smart" facility management—leading change, driving innovation and advancing the business you support. The impact and influence of strategic facility management on business success is escalating. Smart FM is about more than managing the facility; it's about sustaining today's workplace and steering FM strategies to support tomorrow's work.
