Las Vegas (Aug. 20, 2008) – Trade Press Publishing Corporation and ROC Exhibitions, Inc., join creative forces to present an all-new trade show and educational conference – Facility Decisions Conference & Expo, Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 16-17, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas. The event is sponsored by Building Operating Management and Maintenance Solutions magazines.
“For years we’ve heard from our attendees and exhibitors that they want an event for commercial and institutional facilities located west of the Mississippi,” said Bob Wisniewski, president and co-owner of Facility Decisions. “It’s as if we experienced momentum for the event before it was even announced, which is why we’re so excited and enthusiastic about this new endeavor.”
The free, two-day conference and expo is designed exclusively for facility professionals from across the country responsible for the management, operations, maintenance, design and construction of non-residential buildings. Benefits for the 1,800 expected attendees include free access to valuable educational opportunities through conference tracks on green buildings, sustainability, energy and power, managing assets, safe buildings and more. More than 50 free sessions and one-on-one access to industry experts help facility managers meet their toughest challenges.
“Facility Decisions will offer attendees unparalleled opportunities to delve into topics within their specific area of interest and beyond through customized education tracks – at no cost,” said Wendy Dietzler, director of education. “Adding even more value to the experience is unlimited access to the industry’s top manufacturers and suppliers.”
The exhibit hall showcases the newest products and technologies. Networking events provide opportunity to connect and build relationships with other facility professionals. “Solutions Exchange” – a round-robin style speed-learning event – allows attendees to interact through discussions on critical topics that affect their decision-making process.
