A highly focused event connecting end-user clients with solution providers over 2 days. The Summit includes 1-on-1 business meetings, interactive seminars led by industry experts, and many networking opportunites helping to create valuable business relationships.
Facility Managers face tighter budgets, hiring and retainage challenges, and increasing workloads. Technology is supposed to make things seamless, and legislation is making legacy systems impossible to maintain. Our favorite, 100% effective maintenance strategy is run to fail. We default to cost as the main evaluation component, and it is rarely the best option. This session will illustrate the important attributes that establish value and the importance of life cycle costing. You will also learn a simple technique to evaluate the vendors that will also save you time and money.
An enriching adventure awaits at Sheraton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Resort. Make time for a delicious meal at one of our restaurants at our hotel in Lake Buena Vista, or sip cocktails on the patio at 27 Palms Bar & Grill. You can also enjoy the pool, relax with a spa treatment, or get energized in our 24-hour fitness center. Elevate events with our modern venues, which accommodate anything from corporate retreats to beautiful weddings and receptions. After a great, return and recharge in your room with plush bedding and a private balcony.
Thank you for the opportunity to network with all the vendors and other industry professionals. The summit was rewarding - I met a few vendors that I will be reaching out to for proposals to get work done in my facility. The entire program was well organized and educational.
Director of Engineering – Marriott InternationalIt was a nice change of pace to have individual time with the vendors and have the opportunities for the vendors to understand our business and our needs before they provided their pitch. The social components were great. There was a great deal of engagement from both vendors and attendees.
Director, Property Solutions – FirstService ResidentialI wanted to thank you for a great event. I experienced a much higher level of interest in qualified buyers/influencers. Several partner opportunities were identified in addition to National/Corp direct opportunities.
Business Development Manager – Delta ControlsI will say this process of meeting with the vendors is much more personalized than any trade show I have attended. The vendors were very informative and having the one-on-one time let them focus more on our particular needs. The meetings were timed just about right. The location of the venue was perfect, the food options were great. You and your team did a great job, very impressive!
Facility Manager – Georgia College & State UniversityThank you for including me in the FM Solutions & Security Strategies Summits. I learned a lot and have offered a contract to one vendor to bid on for about 600K to 800K. I will be working with 3 other of your vendors. I really enjoyed the Omni and the casino night. Keep me on your list for future summits.
Property Manager – Plaza at Five PointsI liked the format. I liked the one on one. It was better than a mob of people walking past a table or trying to get a vendor reps undivided attention when that rep needs to get to as many people as possible. This format really alleviated the pressure on both ends (customer and vendor).
