WFBSCs 2024 Global Executive Summit “a resounding success”
The World Federation of Building Service Contractors has hailed its 2024 Global Executive Summit, a resounding success. The Summit, held recently in Amsterdam, attracted delegates from 14 countries, including executive leaders from ABM, Bee-Clean Building Maintenance, GDI, ISS, Principle Cleaning Services, The Budd Group and more.
"The 2024 Global Executive Summit was a fantastic opportunity to bring the industry together to connect and set each other up for future success," says Stan Doobin, CBSE, CEO of Harvard Maintenance and 2024 WFBSC president.
"By creating opportunities for industry leaders to connect, we are able to understand trends that will impact us, share experiences and discuss ideas that bring the industry forward for the benefit of our customers."
Summit sessions included an overview of how companies can adapt to the Gen Z workforce, deep dives into sustainability in the contract cleaning space, perspectives on leadership, technology trends for the commercial cleaning industry, featuring speakers from Principle Cleaning Services, Coor Sweden, Karcher, and Diversey, among others.
The event's two-day format allowed those in attendance to maximise engagement with WFBSC programming and with exhibitors at Interclean Amsterdam, with which the Summit coincided.
Says Steve Shuchat, CEO of Clean All Services and Global Executive Summit attendee:
"WFBSC Global Executive Summit was a phenomenal experience. I felt very welcome, and I had a great time meeting wonderful BSCs from all over the world."
Following the success of the 2024 Global Executive Summit, WFBSC sets its sights on its next event, the first Global Executive Congress since the pandemic. The organisation will bring global leaders together in Auckland, New Zealand on March 12th and 13th, 2025.
