About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe IFMA Facility Fusion Conference & Expo is a focused, immersive event for the facility management (FM) profession, produced by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA). For 2027, the conference heads to New Orleans, LA, with technology as its central theme — exploring how AI, automation, and digital innovation are reshaping the way facilities are managed, operated, and experienced. The program is organized around three pillars: Resilience, Innovation, and Direction.
Facility Fusion is built for professionals driving change in the built environment. Typical attendees include facility managers and coordinators, workplace strategists and real estate leaders, service providers and solution partners, and sustainability, safety, and operations experts — from newcomers to those with decades of FM experience.
Attendees come for deep-dive educational sessions, curated site visits and mini facility tours, a dynamic expo, and high-impact peer networking. IFMA positions the event as delivering practical, real-world strategies that can be implemented immediately, along with connections that outlast the conference itself.
