Workplace Futures Conference – 23.02.27

What is Workplace Futures?

First launched in 2007, Workplace Futures is the annual FM & Workplace Conference held in London in February.

Each year’s event has a different theme, with the programme carefully designed to focus closely on current and emerging issues at the time. We always aim to bring together some of the best speakers available to shed light, share information, and provide insights and advice that have real value.

In 2026 Workplace Futures focused on identifying some of the key signposts essential to building a roadmap for the future of individual businesses and the sector as a whole. In 2027, this unique ‘by the industry, for the industry’ conference will do a deep dive into how we arrive at our destination.

What is the destination? It is the ambition that service providers have been proclaiming for years – the goal for FM to be recognised as a trusted strategic partner, recognised as the integrator of talent and technology in the built environment. The service partner who understands needs, spots opportunities and delivers on promises – consistently and reliably.

  • Why Workplace Futures

    Each year’s Workplace Futures programme is carefully designed to focus closely on current and emerging issues in FM, bringing together some of the best speakers available to shed light and share information. Too many industry events do little more than scratch the surface or offer little more than thinly veiled sales presentations. You’ll get neither from Workplace Futures.

  • Why you should attend

    Workplace Futures is unique. Unlike most events in this industry which simply come and go, this conference builds each year on the success of previous years. Consequently, we have a strong and loyal following, combined with new and fresh interest in each new programme – each of which is designed to deliver real insights and practical advice drawn from frontline experience as well as focused research.

  • Who should attend

    The day is designed specifically for people responsible for FM actions and decisions, whether they are involved in communicating, marketing, selling, procuring or developing services - and, of course, those on the ground implementing and delivering those services, too. Basically, anyone with a genuine interest in the industry and its future.

  • An outstanding track record

    Workplace Futures was launched in 2007. In the years since, more than 340 speakers have offered experience, insights and advice to well over 7000 delegates. The conference theme changes each year to reflect current issues and trends: in the past we’ve looked at the convergence of disciplines and services, the business imperatives of people and profit, the commoditisation challenge, strategic partnerships and innovation.
