About

Join us at the FMA Summits' 13th Future Facilities, ESG & Zero Energy Summit—an immersive, high-level networking event that unites 20 Solution Providers with 150 Heads of Facilities. Together, they oversee over 3 billion square feet of facility and rooftops nationally. This unique platform for industry leaders and innovative solution providers creates an environment that fosters relationships leading to meaningful business connections. Over two days, the summit features engaging presenters, corporate dining tables for one-on-one meetings, and cocktail receptions in the exhibit room. It's here that ideas flourish, partnerships form, and innovative solutions take shape. Our goal is to empower facility management professionals to collaborate, learn from one another, and collectively shape the future of facility management and environmental stewardship on the path to net-zero by 2030.
