Joseph Nasuta — Crothall Healthcare

“...I've been here several times. Probably one of the best conferences that is offered for folks in facilities management.”

Maurice Howell — Social Security Administration

“My favorite part of the show is learning about the new and different technologies that are out there for my industry. There's obviously quite a few vendors, a wide range of technology. Learning about the new things that are ready for the industry.”

Chris Markle — CSX Railroad

“The expo hall is great. I was surprised by how many vendors were here. How many things were set-up. Some people went way out of their way to really show what they have to offer companies.”

Nuri Akdeniz — Harper College

“I ran into A LOT of vendors that we use! Roofing vendors, building automation systems, lock systems, fire protection.”

Kevin Fomengia — PCF

“I did like some of the labor solutions when it comes to workforce development. As you know, there's a huge labor shortage and the trade aspect, so I thought that was really cool. And I did like some of the innovation when it comes to security-wise, and how they are thinking about ''How do you combine being optimizing energy and security and putting it in one product.”
