The 21st World Federation of Building Service Contractors (WFBSC) Congress is being held 4 to 7 April 2016 in Tokyo, Japan.
Sponsored by Sealed Air/Diversey Care and Karcher, the Congress is themed ‘Building Service Contractors: services to create rich life’ and will examine and discuss the value of the building service industry. Registrations are now open.
“This industry represents a building space lifestyle and culture captured in such keywords as safety, reassurance, comfort, and convenience; in essence, a building maintenance industry that provides comfortable workplaces and a richer and better life experience,” says Takao Ichinohe, president of WFBSC and the Japan Building Maintenance Association (JBMA).
“To realise the value of satisfying building users lies at the very heart of our clients’ expectations. The Congress aims to increase public awareness and trust and confidence in our industry. We would be grateful if together we can all consider these themes at the Congress.”
The main venue is the Tokyo International Forum conveniently located in central Tokyo, close to the Imperial Palace, and an easy walk to Ginza. In addition, the gala dinner is hosted in the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, with its traditional Japanese landscape garden; the perfect spot to linger and enjoy spring greenery, cherry blossoms and a gently murmuring stream.
“I am very much looking forward to meeting my many old friends and making many new ones. I would especially like those of you who are from vibrant Asia to enjoy this world congress held in this small part of our beautiful continent, and I extend a hearty welcome to participants from all over the world,” Mr Ichinohe shared.
