Networking




Behind every great facility professional is a strong network of peers. At NFMT, we believe that the connections you make at the show are instrumental in improving performance, operations and safety in your facilities. That's why we design the NFMT experience to maximize time with friends, peers, experts and suppliers.

Opening Night Reception

After the education sessions wrap and the expo hall closes, join us at the NASCAR Hall of Fame to strengthen the connections you made throughout the first day of the show. Explore the museum, enjoy hors d'oeuvres and light refreshments and get charged up for two more great days of NFMT with friends and colleagues.

Show Central Sessions

New information is available everywhere at NFMT, including in Show Central, your destination for resources and more on the Expo Hall floor. Editors from NFMT's sibling publications conduct interviews with subject matter experts and you can listen in live. Dig deeper with presenters, learn from show partners and hear stories from all areas of the facilities management industry.

Solutions Roundtables

Have a particularly vexing problem you're working to solve in your facilities? NFMT's Solutions Roundtables are designed with exactly that in mind. Collaborate with your peers and industry experts to discover solutions that you can take home with you.

Women who Make It Work

Join the conversation with a panel of industry women for a discussion of work/life balance, authenticity, accountability and community. Bring your own perspective, stories, questions and more as this experience depends on you! After the discussion, celebrate new connections and knowledge over drinks and appetizers at the Women Who Make It Work Reception.

Facilities Management Huddles

We all know that two heads are better than one, so what about 30 heads? Join forces with like-minded facility pros for a lively discussion around a central theme. Moderated by Building Operating Management and Facility Maintenance Decisions editors, your questions, experiences and solutions are key for these sessions, interspersed within the NFMT Conference schedule.

Charlotte Facility Tours

Charlotte is home to many interesting buildings that all need facilities professionals to keep them running - you'll meet many of them at NFMT East! Join us as they provide a look behind the curtain in the facilities they manage and take some inspiration home with you when the show concludes

NFMT East Closing Session

Celebrate your NFMT East 2026 experience with friends and colleagues at the NFMT Closing Session before you return to your facilities to apply all the new knowledge you gained at the show. Show your smarts with a trivia contest and make plans to meet again at NFMT East 2027.
