Western Australia’s premier facilities management event, FMA’s 2026 WA Conference takes place on July 24 in Perth, Australia. With the theme “Providing Leadership, Creating Leaders”, the event’s hosting organization, the Facilities Management of Australia (FMA), aims to help shape both the built environment and the facilities management professionals who sustain it. Hearing from industry experts reinforces that effective FM leadership requires more than operational oversight, it demands strategic vision, commercial acumen, strong stakeholder engagement, and the ability to lead through change in an increasingly complex and technology-driven landscape.
At FMA’s 2026 WA Conference attendees will hear from industry experts as they highlight the importance of mentorship, succession planning, and creating opportunities for emerging professionals to step into responsibility. These experts will share insights, lessons learned, and practical strategies, experts demonstrate how empowering teams, encouraging innovation, and investing in professional growth builds confident, capable leaders. This collective knowledge strengthens the profession, ensures organizational resilience, and prepares the next generation of facility managers to lead with confidence, adaptability, and purpose.
Exhibitors will also be in attendance. With a varied and broad industry, it’s important to be aware of opportunities for acquiring and utilizing tools and systems as part of your role – and career. These companies and organizations have been selected by FMA, enabling you to trust the opportunities they offer.
In addition to a raft of expert speakers, the day also includes a morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea that offer chances to network with peers and contacts. Following the day’s proceedings, attendees will be invited to come along for a Sundowner event to mark and note both the day and the local industry.
