Attending Facility Fusion has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As a seasoned chapter administrator, I’ve found the leadership information‑sharing sessions both valuable and motivating, always leaving with practical best practices and fresh energy to apply in my role. Presenting to fellow chapter leaders was another great opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from one another. I strongly encourage IFMA chapters to support sending new officers and board members—Facility Fusion is a good investment in developing strong, effective chapter leadership as well as personal & professional growth.
Facility Fusion was an outstanding experience and an invaluable resource, especially in my first year as an IFMA Chapter Administrator. The inspiring speakers, high-energy sessions, and opportunity to connect with administrators from across the country reinforced the strength of the IFMA community and the power of collaboration. The enthusiasm throughout the conference was truly contagious! I left feeling informed, energized, and excited to apply what I learned to support our chapter and advance IFMA’s mission.
