Conference and workshop on duties to maintain safety on premises on April 18/19, 2024 in Heidelberg

We want to "meet new risks with expertise" and are therefore organizing a two-day event on the topic of operational responsibilities for owners and facility managers of residential buildings at the Arthotel in Heidelberg in April 2024.

Practical Forum on Operator Obligations & Safety Responsibilities on June 22, 2023, in Hamburg.

How do you handle operator obligations and safety responsibilities during times of energy cost pressure and inflation? What must you do, what can you leave? And above all: how can one become more efficient and save costs when it comes to essential safety measures? We aim to address these questions at the Practical Forum on Safety Measures, a workshop format that we are organizing for the 5th time in collaboration with the Real Estate Consulting GmbH – a practical event designed for industry professionals.
