Join us for the Welcome Reception at World Workplace Europe - the perfect opportunity to kickstart your conference experience! Network with fellow facility management professionals in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.

Make valuable connections, share insights, and set the stage for productive conference discussions ahead. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a returning participant, this reception provides an ideal setting to meet colleagues from across Europe and beyond.

At World Workplace Europe, Remy Gieling – co-founder of AI.nl and The Automation Group – will take you on a journey to the front lines of innovation. Traveling the world to meet with leading tech pioneers, Remy distills the most important lessons for European organizations. His keynote explores the breakthroughs in physical automation – from humanoid robotics, dark factories and autonomous delivery – as well as cognitive automation at scale, where AI Agents are taking over complex tasks at lightning speed.

As businesses become leaner, more agile, and more automated, the need for physical office space and facility structures is transforming. What does this mean for facility teams, for industry leaders, and for the skills needed to thrive? Drawing from real-world examples of early adopters, Remy will share the mindsets and capabilities you need to navigate and lead in this new era of work.

The Rise of the FM Data Analyst by Matt Tucker

As facility management evolves into a more data-enabled discipline, a new mindset is emerging: that of the FM Analyst. This is not a formal job title, it is a working profile that reflects the modern FM professional who can interpret data, identify patterns, and apply insight to improve performance, reduce costs, and support sustainability.

Wrap up the conference with your new connections!

Following the closing keynote speaker and the student challenge, we extend an invitation to all conference attendees to join us at the FM party.

Unwind with fellow participants in an informal setting, accompanied by refreshing drinks, delectable bites, and lively music—a perfect blend to conclude World Workplace Europe. Connect with your peers while enjoying a local beer or cocktail.

Entrance to the party is included with your conference entry ticket. For those not attending the conference but eager to partake in the FM party festivities, individual tickets can be purchased.
