The commercial real estate’s premier event, BOMA International Annual Conference & Expo, will take place June 25-28, 2016, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Presenting at commercial real estate’s most important event of the year not only allows you to make a direct contribution to the growth of your industry, it will provide a unique opportunity to make an impression on your peers — and introduce your company to hundreds of leading commercial real estate professionals from around the world.

Visit the Call for Presentations page on the conference website to review instructions, and then click on "Submit Proposal." All proposals must be submitted online. We encourage you to review the Tips, Guidelines, Rules and Regulations for BOMA's 2015 Call for Presentations before submitting a proposal.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 16.
 
According to new analysis by Kingsley Associates, buildings that have earned the BOMA 360 Performance Program® designation have higher tenant satisfaction scores in all rating areas as compared to commercial office buildings without the BOMA 360 designation. Most notably, 94 percent of tenants in BOMA 360 buildings report high overall satisfaction.
 
Advocacy
The BOMA International Advocacy Team has developed a voting guide for code officials to use while attending the International Code Councils Public Comment Hearings in Long Beach, California on Sept. 30-Oct. 5

The attached voting guide outlines all the code changes that BOMA will be taking a position on during these hearings, along with the recommended action we would like the code officials to take on each proposal. We encourage everyone to share this guide with your local code officials who will be attending the Public comment Hearings.

Thanks again for supporting the BOMA Advocacy Team efforts.
