Facilities Information Management System

We are pleased to announce that the 2010 FIMS/Real Estate Workshop has been scheduled for June 14-17, 2010 (4 full days) and will be hosted by the EM Consolidated Business Center (EMCBC).  The Workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati.  You should plan your travel days for Sunday, June 13 and Friday, June 18. 

A list of topics are currently being assembled and a final agenda will not be available until a month prior to the Workshop.  We can tell you that we are planning 4 full days of intensive discussion on some very critical topics including High Performance Sustainable initiatives, DOE implementation of E.O. 13514, cool roofs, calculating carbon footprint, deferred maintenance, space management & utilization, dispositions, RPAM Update, FIMS validations, FRPP status update, upcoming FIMS enhancements and Headquarters Program Office/Site presentations.  In addition, there will be a variety of specific real estate topics that will be covered as well.  This Workshop is considered to be a very critical educational networking opportunity for federal and contractor personnel within the FIMS and Real Estate communities.  We cannot emphasize enough that attendance at this Workshop is very important for the management and operation of the FIMS corporate system and will play a key role in the continued success of the FIMS and Real Estate programs.

Hotel Reservations and Registration Information 

The hotel has reserved a block of rooms from Sunday June 13 through Friday June 18.  The government rate of $115 (plus tax) will be offered during this time.  The government rate will also be available prior to and after the Workshop, subject to hotel availability (we suggest making these reservations early if you plan on extending your stay).

Everyone who plans to attend should begin making their hotel reservations immediately.  This will give us time to ensure adequate hotel rooms are available for all attendees.  If for some reason you make a hotel reservation and are unable to attend, you can cancel your reservation 24 hours prior to arrival with no charge.

One important note:  If you are planning on attending this Workshop, you must stay at this hotel.  We have made a commitment to the hotel based on prior attendance.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
