Welcome

TEFMA’s purpose is to guide and influence the transformation of the higher education built environment into a vibrant and sustainable community.

 

We warmly welcome you to the TEFMA25 Annual Conference in Brisbane, Queensland from Sunday 14 September to Wednesday 17 September 2025.

TEFMA25 promises to be packed with an exciting face-to-face program that will allow members and business partners to reflect upon past accomplishments, renew friendships and extend networks.

The conference theme is BRIGHTER FUTURES | Facilities for the Future – Blending People, Property, Processes, and Platforms.

BRIGHTER FUTURES encapsulates the vision of facilities management (FM) as a transformative force in creating sustainable, efficient, and inclusive environments.
The focus is on blending four essential pillars [People, Property, Processes, and Platforms] to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and prepare facilities for the dynamic challenges of the future.

  1. People: Empowering our University Community

Facilities are ultimately for people, and empowering those who design, construct, manage, operate, and use them is at the heart of FM. 

  1. Property: Sustainable and Resilient Environments

Our campuses are the canvas where the vision of a brighter future unfolds. The conference will explore how facilities can be optimised to meet modern needs while prioritising environmental responsibility. 

  1. Processes: Streamlining Operations for Efficiency

Modern FM requires rethinking traditional workflows to align with new demands and opportunities. 

  1. Platforms: Leveraging Technology for Transformation

Technology is revolutionising FM, creating smarter, more connected facilities. 

Join us – build your knowledge, build your network.

  • Keynotes and Panels: Thought leaders and industry experts sharing insights into the evolving role of FM.
  • Breakout Sessions: Hands-on sessions on cutting-edge tools, methodologies, and best practices.
  • Innovation Showcase: Highlighting emerging technologies and sustainable products shaping the industry.
  • Networking Opportunities: Facilitating connections among FM professionals, industry partners, and student experience advocates.

 

We look forward to sharing experiences and ideas. We look forward to seeing you at TEFMA25!

Cheers from the Organising Committee
