PRSM, the Professional Retail Store Maintenance Association, is hosting two autumn meeting events: one on October 20 in Toronto, and the second on November 2 in Vancouver. Early bird rates are still available for both — Toronto’s early bird registration deadline is Wednesday, October 5, and Vancouver’s deadline is Wednesday, October 12.
These programs are designed for retail facility management professionals who want to step out of their daily routine and look at facility management through a new lens. Each program is a separate interactive experience providing facilities professionals with an opportunity to challenge their thinking. Choose the location best for you as the programs are identical.
Two (2) Continuing Education Credits are available towards your RFMP Designation Renewal by attending one of these events.
The ‘Canada East’ event will be held at the One King West Hotel in Toronto on Thursday, October 20, 2016, and the ‘Canada West’ event will be held at the Empire Landmark Hotel in Vancouver on Wednesday, November 2, 2016.
