Meeting History

The face-to-face meeting scheduled for the first half of 2022 was originally intended to be hosted by the Asset Management Council (AMC) in Australia during June 2022. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions on travel, the meeting was held virtually instead with four intensive sessions scheduled over a two-week period in May.

In spite of the challenge with having our society representatives resident in time zones across the globe - from Western Canada on the one side to Eastern Australia on the other - a great rhythm was established in terms of efficiently communicating the GFMAM and member Societies activities. The personal interaction is something that we all greatly miss and we are looking forward to our next planned face-to-face meeting in the second half of 2022.
 

For over 10 years GFMAM has maintained a pace of two major meetings every year which typically span three working days held in conjunction with attendance and contributions to a member’s conference. Due to the “new normal” that has been brought about by COVID-19 the GFMAM intends, going forward, to having at least one of these meetings virtually and the other face to face if possible. Our November 2021 meeting was held virtually with a schedule of 4 x 3-hour meetings over a two-week period accommodating attendees from all global time zones.

We were pleased to welcome a new member: MAPMA – The Malaysian Asset and Project Management Association to the GFMAM.

The face-to-face meeting scheduled for the second half of 2020 was originally intended to be hosted by GSMR in Bahrain during November 2020. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions on travel the meeting was held virtually.

The face-to-face meeting scheduled for the first half of 2020 was originally intended to be hosted in Brighton, UK from June 22 - 26, 2020 concurrent with the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) annual conference.

The meeting plan was adapted to an online environment which came together very well and opened possibilities for new ways of collaborating in the future.
