World FM Day/Week 2017

Initiated in 2008 by Global FM, World FM Day (May 17) aims to recognize the vital work that FM professionals contribute to business worldwide, and to raise the profile of the FM profession anywhere FMs influence the health, safety, productivity and well-being of people who utilize the built environment. The 2017 theme, “Enabling Positive Experiences,” is about highlighting how FM enables exceptional spaces that enhance life. Global FM member organizations on six continents will celebrate World FM Day by holding public events on May 17 and throughout the week, such as luncheons, seminars and workshops, social media activity and more. For example, IFMA is expressing its appreciation to FMs by featuring a free content resource for each day of World FM ​Week. Winners of the Global FM Awards for Excellence in Facilities Management will be announced. Global FM offers promotional materials for the event on its site.
