WBME partners with UK's i-FM portal to target dynamic facilities management sector

WBME is scheduled to take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre on 17th and 18th November 2008.

'The i-FM portal receives over 220,000 page impressions or over a million hits a month making it Europe's leading portal for the FM sector and through our partnership, we hope to enhance awareness about WBME and reach out to industry professionals across Europe,'

said Chris Fountain, Group Director of CMPi, organizers of WBME.

He noted that CMPi will utilize i-FM portal to publicize the series of construction projects invariably underway in the Middle East and the easing of property laws in the region that have stimulated the market for the facilities management sector.

i-FM.net the first source of daily facilities management news and information on the world wide web ­ was launched in July 1999. Since then it has evolved continuously to meet the needs of our rapidly maturing and expanding market. At the end of October 2001 i-FM moved to a market intelligence model with full access restricted to licensed users.
