The Facility Management Association of Australia (FMA) national conference, Ideaction2021, was different this year, with the two-day event reduced to one day (with another to be picked up at a later date), and streamed online.
It’s just another way in which we have all had to adapt and change with the new “covid reality” of life in 2021. And, despite the clear drawbacks of being unable to meet face to face, the online format provided a unique opportunity to exchange new information and ideas for our industry, and ensure we remained connected despite the distance that separated us.
What’s more, as a diamond sponsor and national corporate member of FMA Australia, GJK was proud to host an exhibition stand in Perth, where the conference was able to continue as a live event.
The hybrid online and Perth-based sessions were MC’d by GJK’s Director of Strategic Relationships Kristiana Greenwood, and FMA CEO Nicholas Burt. GJK also sponsored a presentation from KPMG Australia’s Richard Boele on the “Modern Slavery Act” in facilities management, as well as a presentation by author Michael Crossland on “the Power of Perspective,” an emotional and inspirational telling of his life.
