President | SAFMA
We believe that strong facilities management is central
to organisational success, efficiencies and sustainability.
Through our events, we aim not just to inform and inspire,
but to unite the FM community around shared goals and
opportunities.
Join us as we advance the practice, impact and future
of facilities management in South Africa and beyond.
One of the most relevant FM Conferences I’ve been to.
The value of the networking and presentations are something that no amount of money can replace
The Africa FM conference should be mandatory for FM executives every year.
