The 8th annual Northeast Buildings & Facilities Management Show & Conference (NEBFM) is returning to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center June 12-13. NEBFM is the largest regional event of its kind in New England. The trade show will showcase over 300 exhibiting companies displaying products and services for the management, operation, maintenance & renovation of all types of buildings and facilities. The majority of exhibitors hail from the six New England states, with several from outside the region. Faced with shrinking staffs, budget cut-backs and time constraints, today's professional needs to access as many vendors in one place at one time as possible. In just two days, NEBFM attendees will be able to find innovative and economical solutions to the present and future needs of their buildings and facilities. In addition to accessing new and current vendors on the trade show floor, attendees can earn CFM and CEU credit by attending any of the 30 educational talks offered at the NEBFM Conference. The talks are each an hour in length and cover a wide range of topics including: energy use, management and procurement, building commissioning, green buildings, safety and security, emergency management and building maintenance. NEBFM has strong local and regional support from associations throughout Greater New England. This year's sponsors include: Platinum Sponsor IFMA - Boston; AEE - New England; AFE - Region 8; IREM - Metro Boston; BOMA - Boston; BSA-AIA; ASM; BCxA - Northeast; NECEC; USGBC - MA; CAI - New England; and ABC - MA. This year, NEBFM will host the regional meeting of YMCA property directors and managers on day one of the show. The New England Real Estate Journal will also host a Social Media Pavilion on the show floor where attendees and exhibitors alike can upgrade their knowledge of this vital component for conducting business in the 21st Century. A one-hour Networking Reception will be held on the show floor from 3-4 p.m. after the first show day Wednesday June 12. The Trade Show and Conference are free to attend.
