My goal this year was to take BIM course and Facility/IT courses to help in planning for the future of FM’s in today’s market. The three BIM course helped me to learn more about BIM and the value of BIM in our future. Another course that was helpful was “Best Practices in Mobile Computing Space” panel discussion that outlined how our landscaping in office space and the direction that businesses are going. Some of the other courses of interest were “Change Management” and “A Smarter RFP, Getting Apples to Apples” (great course and great speaker). I attended a course on “Subleasing Best Practices and Lessons” taught by local IFMA members! The challenge for me was to attend as many educational courses and learn about new products and services at on the Expo Floor but I did succeed.
The closing speaker was a “WOW” moment because of the movie “Catch Me If You Can” and really enjoyed Frank Abagnale version of the story. Frank inspired the audience and left a little bit of wisdom for all of us to take with us.
“Thank the Atlanta Chapter” for giving me a scholarship to attend a rewarding, educational, experience. I am honored to have been a part of IFMA Atlanta!
