SAFMA’s Roots & Routes Festival is the flagship two-day event, designed to inspire, equip, and elevate professionals and businesses across the FM landscape. Whether you’re charting your own career path or scaling your business in the sector, the festival offers an energizing mix of expert-led sessions, industry-specific exhibitors, and impactful networking opportunities — all set within the dynamic Future Africa Campus.
Themed “Empowering People. Connecting Possibilities” Each day of the festival explores a distinct route to success, helping to cultivate a stronger, more resilient FM community, from individual upskilling to enterprise growth.
- Day 1 – Rooted in Skill, Routed in Success
- Day 2 – Building Big with SMEs
A unified festival with real impact, Day 1 and Day 2 together, embody the dual purpose of the Roots and Routes Festival: to strengthen the skills backbone of the profession and to empower the entrepreneurial backbone of the sector.
Facilities Management is the invisible force that keeps our built environments thriving – and at the heart of it all are the people and enterprises who form the industry’s backbone.
By nurturing strong roots through knowledge and training, and opening new routes for growth, connection, and opportunity, this festival is more than a gathering — it’s a movement. A movement towards a future-ready, inclusive, and innovative FM industry in South Africa.
