Generally, we have over 160 delegates from across the 32 Scottish Local Authorities. These include the main decision makers for Facilities Management (Catering, Cleaning and Janitorial services) across Scotland.
We have found that this format works best. The exhibitors receive the full delegate contingent at one time and our delegates are more than happy to spend time with the exhibitors.
We are always a little tight for space on Tuesday, but exhibitors are more than welcome to come along to the Wednesday morning sessions.
We are sorry, but you must be part of a stand to attend the conference.
ASSIST FM is the Association for all the Facilities Management providers within Scotland’s 32 Local authorities.

ASSIST FM’s main role is to promote the skill sets of the public sector workforce and best practices across the local authority sector. ASSIST FM is the voice of the local authority FM service and represents its members on numerous national committees and steering groups.
