Lastly, there is the Reopening Safely track which is a key component and of utmost importance for this year. With over 30 full hours of sessions on the agenda, attendees will have many talks to choose from.

Their top five sessions following that include, Rapid ROI Facility Retrofit Efficiency, to Assessing and Prioritizing the Needs of Your Building, to Future Facility for Pandemics and Pathogens, to the 91% FM training dilemma to cleaning and HVAC Requirements for Reopening are all hot topics this year and are beyond timely.
