FM Connect Brisbane 26 take place August 3-5, 2026. In 2025, the Facility Management Association of Australia (FMA) reimagined their National Conference and Exhibition. Formerly named Ideaction, FM Connect is a modern, forward-thinking national conference and exhibition where innovation, collaboration and industry leadership converge. The conference brings together facilities managers, and those working adjacent to the industry, together to develop industry standards, share knowledge and insight, and discuss the current landscape of the industry.
FM Connect Brisbane 26 is a key driver in elevating the industry’s profile and performance. Sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and guests come together to share information in a platform that enhances understanding and improves operations across facilities management. The conference will proactively approach issues such as advances in technology, changes to legislation, the move to net zero buildings and shifts in community expectation, to secure the future of the built environment. Discussion areas also include the experiences and expectations of those who use and operate Australia’s facilities.
Operating annually since 1990, this event is the largest coming together of facilities management professionals in Australia making it an invaluable chance to network with peers and the companies and organizations involved in the industry. As the industry continues to get more attention, FM Connect will continue to be an important avenue for ensuring that the industry pushes forward.
