The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern; therefore, IFMA and our Asia-Pacific chapters agree that it is prudent to postpone the upcoming World Workplace Asia conference. We regret any inconvenience caused by taking this precautionary measure; however, the health and safety of our conference attendees, staff, speakers and exhibitors is our top priority. On behalf of the entire IFMA community, we express our heartfelt sympathy to those hardest hit by the virus. We encourage all facility management professionals to share information and best practices for planning or implementing infectious disease response strategies. Registered World Workplace Asia attendees will receive a refund of their conference fees. IFMA will post new dates for the event as more information becomes available.
