Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Hundreds of exhibitors descend upon the BOMA International Conference and Expo each year to present products and information that are vital for facilities and property professionals. It’s one of the most important shows in the industry, and we attend annually. We send extra editorial staff to cover multiple aspects of the conference and expo in a variety of formats and channels. Coverage includes professional development sessions, keynote addresses and trends and what’s new at the expo.
Editor-in-chief Valerie Dennis Craven, senior writer Janelle Penny and content engagement director Christoph Trappe walked the floor and attended seminars. As a team, the BUILDINGS editorial staff worked to find topics that would be the most pertinent and interesting for our audience.
Janelle obtained an exclusive interview with Dr. Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. Valerie broke down an eye-opening survey released during the show that found that more than half of BOMA members consider themselves as keeping pace with changes in technology. We covered trends in tenant amenities to increase and keep tenant satisfaction high, and how to attract and retain the next generation of property managers to an aging profession, among other topics.
