The Facilities Event Returns – A New Home Alongside The Workplace Event

Written by Mark Tilley | July 22, 2025

The Facilities Event is officially making its return, co-located with The Workplace Event, taking place at the NEC Birmingham. This much-anticipated comeback has been driven by strong demand from across the facilities management (FM) sector for a dedicated space to share knowledge, discover new innovations and champion the vital role FM plays across workplaces.

For Facilities, Real Estate, Health & Safety, Waste Management leaders, The Facilities Event will offer a focused environment built entirely around your needs. From the latest technologies and services to inspiring case studies and expert-led sessions, this is a place where FM professionals can gain real, practical value. 

Not only will attendees benefit from dedicated FM content, they will also have full access to The Workplace Event, giving them a wider view of workplace strategy, technology and design. This unique combination is designed to reflect the evolving relationship between FM and workplace experience, helping professionals align operational delivery with broader organisational goals. 

“Following the feedback from this years event the voice of the audience was clear - Facilities Management deserves its own spotlight. The Facilities Event will give the FM services community the platform it has asked for, a space to challenge the status quo, explore new ideas and connect with peers who are just as passionate about driving the industry forward,” said Tristan Norman, Group Director, The Safety & Security Event Series.

The Facilities Event is proud to have the backing of key partners across the FM sector, including: 

  • IWFM (Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management) 
  • British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) 
  • LGBT+ in Facilities Management 

Alongside valued media supporters: Cleaning Matters, EuroFM, Facilitate, fmuk, PFM and Tomorrow’s Facilities Management 

Whether you're managing estates, shaping workplace sustainability or driving compliance and efficiency across sites, this is your opportunity to reconnect with your industry, source fresh ideas and future-proof your operations.
