IFMA travels to Charlotte for World Workplace
Boston, MA Houston. Denver. New Orleans. Phoenix. Philadelphia. Each fall, members of the Boston chapter of IFMA get together in a new city, strengthening their network and sharing stories with new friends and colleagues in the industry. And while each of those cities may be home to an NFL franchise, the reason for the trip was not to follow the Patriots on the road, but rather attend IFMA’s World Workplace – the annual conference providing world-class educational programming and networking events for facility managers.
This year more than 70 FM professionals from New England traveled to Charlotte, where in addition to conference programming, they got together for exclusive Boston events. The conference typically leverages its location to create fun and exciting opportunities for the attendees.
This year the opening keynote was Kyle Petty and the welcome reception was at the NASCAR Hall of Fame-it was a race to the finish!
