As Oman advances its Vision 2040 and Net Zero 2050 ambitions, facilities management (FM) is emerging as a critical enabler of smarter, more sustainable buildings and infrastructure.
Reflecting this growing focus, the Middle East Facilities Management Association (MEFMA) will host the MEFMA Conference in Oman on 10 February 2026 at the JW Marriott Hotel, Muscat.
Held under the theme 'Future-ready FM: Driving Oman’s sustainable growth', the one-day conference will bring together senior facility management leaders, asset owners, government representatives, developers and service providers to examine how FM can evolve beyond traditional operations to support efficiency, resilience and long-term asset value across the Sultanate’s built environment.
Positioned as a strategic platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing and collaboration, the conference will feature expert speakers addressing key industry priorities. Discussions will focus on the expanding role of FM in supporting national development goals, the increasing impact of digital and data-driven operations, and the importance of developing local FM talent to meet future demands. Regional case studies will also highlight practical approaches to improving asset performance and operational outcomes.
Jamal Lootah, President of MEFMA, said facilities management has become a strategic lever for Oman’s growth, directly influencing efficiency, sustainability and service quality. He added that the conference aims to move the conversation from ambition to application by demonstrating how data, digital tools and best practices can be applied to support Vision 2040 and deliver measurable value across assets and portfolios.
Sheikh Abdulaziz Al Hosni, MEFMA Board Member, said Oman’s development priorities present a significant opportunity for FM to play a more strategic role in sustainability, operational performance and long-term asset value. He noted that the conference will serve as an important platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange as the sector continues to evolve in line with Vision 2040.
The Muscat edition is expected to attract more than 200 industry professionals from sectors including real estate, hospitality, healthcare, education, oil and gas, transport and critical infrastructure, alongside government and semi-government entities. The event is supported by leading organisations from across the FM sector, including Gold Sponsors Omdaad and QBG – Facilities Management, as well as Supporting Partner the International College of Engineering & Management.
