IFMA Greater Seattle Chapter 2026 Annual Expo
2026 Expo, Education & Annual Meeting | What keeps you up at night: An FMs guide to a good nights sleep
Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2026
Location: Mercer Island Community and Event Center | Mercer Island, WA
This year, we’re tackling the real challenges that keep Facility Managers and Professionals awake after hours—from operational pressures and emerging technologies to staffing, compliance, sustainability, and future‑proofing. Spend the day connecting with fellow professionals, gaining practical insights, and exploring innovative solutions designed to lighten the load and strengthen your strategic toolkit.
Come for the education, stay for the community—and leave with actionable guidance (and maybe even a better night’s sleep).

New at the IFMA Expo: Technical Track
This year we’re launching a dedicated track created for the people who actually turn the wrenches and solve the problems. Expect practical demonstrations, hands-on learning, and training built around real facility challenges — not theory.
Because education should work the same way you do: in the field.
