Annual TEFMA Conference
TEFMA’s purpose is to guide and influence the transformation of the higher education built environment into a vibrant and sustainable community and the annual TEFMA Conference is a key part of this.
The TEFMA Conference is held in a different location each year in Australasia 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 event has a strong practitioner focus to support the sharing of knowledge and ‘know how’, and also provides opportunities to focus on big-picture issues as well. It allows participants to reflect on their management practice in a regional, national and global context.
2025 TEFMA Conference
The TEFMA25 conference will be held in Brisbane, Queensland from Sunday 14 September to Wednesday 17 September 2025.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Processes: Streamlining Operations for Efficiency
- Modern FM requires rethinking traditional workflows to align with new demands and opportunities.
- Platforms: Leveraging Technology for Transformation
- Technology is revolutionising FM, creating smarter, more connected facilities.
We look forward to sharing experiences and ideas. We cannot wait to see you at TEFMA25!
