Strengthening Connections and Building New Partnerships This Fall

As we look ahead, BEST is gearing up for a robust fall conference season with a focus on the higher education sector, one of our strongest industries. We will be participating in ERAPPA, MAPPA, and PCAPPA, three regional chapters of APPA – Leadership in Educational Facilities, of which BEST is a proud member. These events provide valuable opportunities to strengthen existing relationships and create new connections within the higher education community. BEST will also be proudly sponsoring these conferences and connecting with attendees through our booth presence.

A highlight of the season will be the PCAPPA 2025 Annual Conference in San Jose, CA. On October 20, Chief People & Culture Officer Nalini McIntosh and Vice President of Business Development Jim Southall will present Building a Sustainable Workforce – Simon Fraser University & BEST. This session will highlight the strength of our partnership with SFU and share our approach to building engaged, high-performing teams that deliver measurable results for clients and contribute to the advancement of the facilities management industry.

Our involvement in these conferences reflects BEST’s commitment to staying connected, learning from peers, sharing expertise, and reinforcing the partnerships that have been key to our success. We look forward to engaging in meaningful conversations, exploring new ideas, and finding fresh ways to collaborate across the higher education community. We cannot wait to meet you there.
