Most of us go to World Workplace  for the great educational sessions, networking and window-shopping on the Expo floor.  These are all valid reasons (and worth the expense in themselves!)  However, there are special meetings throughout the days and even extra-curricular evening activities available to those hardy enough or willing to extend their day after long hours of learning.  So here is a (partial...we don't know everything!) list of events transpiring throughout the week in San Antonio some of which youmay want to drag yourselves, just for the fun of it.
 

World Workplace 2012 will be held in San Antonio, Texas.  It's a great city with a lot of history.  This will be the place to be in October.  Through a quirk in scheduling, WWP will held later than normal this year at the end of the month.  This means the Welcome Reception will be held on Halloween. . . .want to bet costumes will be involved?  Maybe the Chapter can come up with a group theme for those of us attending.  All we need are some ideas and some sponsors!

Heather Gantner has been nominated for the Emerging Leader Award in the Awards of Excellence at World Workplace this year.  Even thoughHeather has an exemplary submission for all the work she has done for the Chapter, a little luck wouldn't hurt her chances.  Let's all wish Heather the best for this notable award.

IFMA's World Workplace 2012 Marketing Kit

Three decades of experience equates to a standard of excellence unmatched in the industry.

IFMA's World Workplace Conference & Expo is hosted by the International Facility Management Association, the largest, strongest and most well-connected global association for facility management professionals.

IFMA is the recognized authority on facility management. As the association's signature event, World Workplace is backed by 30 years of IFMA knowledge, experience and a commitment to quality.

IFMA's World Workplace welcomes professionals representing all aspects of the work environment—facility management, real estate, I.T., H.R., engineering, architecture, design, security and other related industries.

If you play a role in assessing, planning, designing, implementing and supporting workplace programs that directly impact the bottom line, then you have a lot to gain from a three-day investment in World Workplace.

What is the ROI?

Real-world education: Take away useful, field-tested information from world-class topic experts. Build skills to endure the test of time, not just get you through the latest trend.

Powerful networking: Exchange information with others who have dealt with similar workplace problems. Share notes, experiences and lessons learned. Brainstorm solutions.

First-class exposition: Discover clever, cost-effective solutions from the most reputable and innovative providers in the industry. Introduce better products and practices in your workplace.

• It's a holistic knowledge- and skill-building experience, addressing challenges that are universal to your profession; and issues and strategies universal to every facility type, shape and size.
