It will showcase how reality capture technologies like 3D laser scanning and drones, coupled with BIM integration can revolutionize the way facility data is managed and maintained.

Melodee Wagen, VP student relations attended IFMA International Advocacy Day which was held in Washington D.C. on September 17th and 18th. According to IFMA International, “Advocacy Day is where elected officials discuss the importance of legislation and how it impacts facility managers and the industry of facility management. It’s also a chance to “understand the importance of chapter-based advocacy and get key insights on how to connect with elected officials, stay informed on the latest policies and laws affecting facility management, and how to create state and local government affairs programs for the chapter.”
In early October 26 members of IFMA Boston travelled to San Antonio to experience IFMA International’s World Workplace.
