Welcome
TEFMA is a leader in advancing campus excellence through collaboration, knowledge and networking. Our 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 TEFMA26 Annual Conference in Melbourne, Victoria from Sunday 13 September to Wednesday 16 September 2026.
TEFMA26 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 Dreaming tomorrow’s campuses today.
Dreaming Tomorrow’s Campuses Today captures the role of property professional as an enabler of bold ideas and practical action – turning future-focused aspirations into real, working campus environments today.
The theme centres on the integration of four essential pillars to inspire innovation, strengthen collaboration, and proactively shape campuses that are sustainable, adaptable, and ready for what’s next.
1. People: Enabling Vision, Capability, and Community
Tomorrow’s campuses are imagined, delivered, and experienced by people. FM plays a critical role in empowering those who plan, design, build, manage, operate, and use university environments.
This pillar focuses on capability, culture, leadership, and collaboration. It ensures our university communities are equipped to translate bold ideas into meaningful outcomes.
2. Property: Designing Campuses for the Future, Today
Our campuses are living environments where future ambitions take shape now. This pillar explores how property and infrastructure can be planned, designed, and managed to support evolving learning, research, and community needs. At the same time, we are embedding sustainability, resilience, and long-term value at their core.
3. Processes: Turning Vision into Action
Dreaming big requires practical, efficient, and agile ways of working. Modern FM demands smarter, more integrated processes that enable responsiveness, reduce friction, and support continuous improvement. It bridges the gap between strategic intent and day-to-day delivery.
4. Platforms: Digital Foundations for Tomorrow’s Campuses
Technology is a critical enabler of future-ready campuses. This pillar examines how digital platforms, data, and emerging technologies can be leveraged today to create smarter, more connected, and more predictive facilities that support informed decision-making and unlocking new possibilities.
