As we continue to evolve, so does the landscape of facilities management. After last year’s incredible success, we are excited to announce the theme for this year’s conference, focusing on the integration of health, wellness, and operational efficiency in our daily work.
On behalf of the Virginia Chapter of APPA, we invite you to join us from March 19th to 21st, 2025, at the beautiful Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. Our theme, Holistic Facility Solutions: Balancing Operational Efficiency with Health and Wellness Priorities, reflects our commitment to crafting a balanced, forward-thinking approach to facilities management that addresses both the functional needs and the well-being of our campus communities.
Building on last year’s theme, “Elevating the User Experience: Customer Service on Campus in a Digital Age,” we continue to drive innovation and share valuable insights. Thanks to the engagement and energy of our attendees, sponsors, and keynote speakers, our conferences have become a catalyst for growth and collaboration.
We’re already working hard to bring together experts, thought leaders, and cutting-edge topics that will empower you to take a holistic approach to facilities management. Sessions will explore how to optimize operational efficiency while placing a strong emphasis on the health and wellness of students, staff, and the entire campus environment.
Stay tuned for exciting updates on speakers, sessions, and networking opportunities. We look forward to seeing you this spring and embarking on another journey of learning, growth, and collaboration. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to meet again in March!
With warm regards,
Jamie Joyner, President
