Spring Chicago Event Recap: Trends for 2018 and Beyond
We had a great event in the Windy City for our Healthcare Facilities Management Forum, Education & Healthcare Security Forum, and Education Facilities Management Forum. The co-located events took place April 23rd-24th, 2018 at the Chicago Marriott O'Hare, in Chicago, IL. Facility and security executives from leading hospitals and educational institutions joined us for a day and a half of one-on-one meetings, learning-based workshops, and business networking.
A sample of attending hospitals and institutions included:
Overall, the feedback from our attendees was overwhelmingly positive on the effectiveness of the face-to-face appointments, with 9 out of 10 attendees agreeing that this type of setup was a much more effective way to source new vendors. “This event was a great way to quickly meet a variety of vendors and network with colleagues.” “Very helpful and the 1:1 contact with the vendors was great to be able to ask questions.” “It was a new and interesting way to meet and speak with potential vendors. I also enjoyed meeting with and speaking to other facility directors.” “This was my first time attending this event, and already look forward to the next. I thoroughly appreciated having the opportunity to meet with vendors one on one and have ample time to discuss my district's needs, and how they could help me. The workshops were also beneficial, because they did not just focus on selling a product, but provided great information as well.”
The learning-based workshops in Chicago covered a range of important trends in FM and Security. Brad Hunter of SchoolDude covered 5 education operations management trends to know for 2018, while Kevin Hendershot covered construction and security trends that will affect us in the coming year and beyond. Rob Donlon of Scranton Products kept us up-to-date on the latest sustainable materials available for restrooms, locker rooms and other applications. We also covered dashboard interfaces, repair and renovation contracts, exit devices and alarms, and a host of other critical topics – a total of 10 workshop sessions in all.
We also found time to network during Casino Night, a tradition that both solution providers and delegate attendees (as well as the Forum Staff!) always enjoy. We closed the event on Tuesday excited to start planning for our next upcoming events in Plano, TX and City of Industry, CA. Want to join us, or know someone who'd be a great fit for this event?

Attendees Give Feedback on Nashville Forums
Executives met for 1,257 combined meetings in Nashville, TN on April 20 & 21, 2015 for the Contact Center Summit, Education Facilities Management Summit, Education & Healthcare Security Summit and Healthcare Facilities Management Forum. Pre-scheduled meetings with solution providers took off promptly on Monday morning in the main ballroom of the grand Gaylord Opryland leading into a day-and-a-half of business meetings, seminars and networking activities – including a lively gala dinner and casino night. Both delegate and vendor attendees have stellar reviews for the Forums (see below): Delegate Testimonials: “I found this to be a much better avenue to connect and meet with vendors/providers. You are matched to vendors that are providing services and or products you are looking for. There is absolutely no high pressure sales taking place. It truly is about trying to meet the needs of the end user.” – Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation “You’ve provided: a relaxed forum to engage myself with knowledgeable vendors, learn more, and find business solutions for both of us…. And the price (free) was perfect!” – Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana “From the time I became a delegate to the end of the conference, Forum Events made the event seamless. This approach is far more conducive to building long term business relationships than the average conference. I will be sure to attend future events.” – Purchase College “Overall an excellent concept. My travel from India was worth the time.” – ITCube “The venue was fantastic and the sessions were very informative and eye-opening. But most importantly, the format – which was new to me – really jumped out at me and made me realize that it is THE way to go! I know at traditional trade shows it would seem that there are more opportunities for networking as you “control your own schedule” to a degree, but I found it to be just the opposite. Having the paired appointments made the introductions easy and the networking fell right into place at a more casual pace.” – VP of IT, Payment Alliance “Very useful – no pressure sales! Great location, staff super and Forum Events did a superb job of making everything smooth! Very professional staff!” –MUS “The Summit was great! I think I share the same sentiment as most of the folks I spoke with that this was a great venue to really spend some quality time with vendors and make some new connections within the industry. The event exceeded my expectations. Outstanding job!” – Union First Market Bank “Very well organized. Felt relaxed, not pressured about events or vendors.” – St. Thomas Hospital Rutherford “Great networking tool and a great way to get familiar with new offerings on the market.” – Loyola University “Great format, very good use of time and well organized. Staff professional, available to help and get answers.” – Brookhaven Memorial Hospital “Forum Events offers an excellent forum to meet top representatives of building component manufacturers and to learn about innovative products.” – JRA Architects “A very professional event for learning and networking.” – Marshal Medical Center “I had a wonderful time and it was well worth it. This is my second venue and I will absolutely come back.” – Riverview Estates “The conference was very business-like and worth the time of attendance.” – Marshall Medical Center “The seminars were very good. I have a lot of cool products and tools to take back and share with the team for possible future use.” – Asurion “I am thankful to have been part of such a productive and innovative event. Very organized!” – MGO “It was a great event.” – Aramark “I enjoyed the Summit and the format and will look to take advantage of future ones.” – Fifth Third Bank “It was really a great experience – thank you for including Archway! The contacts I made will be very helpful as we continue building out our call center technology.” – Archway “I enjoyed my time there and many of the fruitful discussions…wonderful event!” – Cognosante “It was a great event.

I can have a couple weeks of quality appointments in two days! Nothing in the market gives us more bang for the buck!” – Video Insight “Forum Events gives you the opportunity of being in front of the buyer. The networking events open up additional opportunities to meet buyers that you may not have met during the scheduled appointments.” - Hotel Systems Pro “First class all the way! 90% of the people I met had a true interest!” –Axis Communications “More appointments in two days than I could have made in 12 months!” –ISA Fire & Security “Great event will attend more!” – School Dude “Great event and loved the concept!” – Video Insight “Had a great time.
