Science meets Practice
The IFM Congress has become really an international event. Many visitors from more than
10 countries attended the event in the last years. The Congress has established itself as an
important part of the Vienna congress calendar.
The number of visitors of the Congress has risen steadily - and not only with participants
from Austria and Germany, especially with international audience. The Congress stands out
for its high value between practice and research.
In addition to best-practice examples as well as research and international studies, we will
provide new ways of thinking. This successful approach is confirmed again and again by the
positive feedback from our visitors.
At the IFM Congress, the importance of managing facilities is in the spotlight!
We warmly invite you to join this event!
