APPA takes part in the AUDE 2025 Annual Conference

APPA has several strategic partnerships with fellow associations serving educational facilities professionals. The Association of University Directors of Estates (AUDE) serves facilities teams for educational institutions across the United Kingdom. AUDE held their annual conference for facility directors from April 28-May 1 in Cardiff, Wales. Over 70% of AUDEโ€™s membership attended the conference.

The University of Cardiff hosted the conference with a theme of โ€œCynefinโ€ โ€” a Welsh word with a rough translation of “A place where we feel we belongโ€. Many of the educational sessions were focused on how facilities and grounds can create a sense of community and belonging on campuses. There were also robust discussions about preparing our campuses for the next generation of students and learning needs.

Lalit Agarwal, APPA CEO, joined a panel discussion with other international guests sharing their perspectives on facility management challenges and opportunities ahead. Two of APPAโ€™s other international strategic partners were also represented: TEFMA (Australasia) and HEFMA (Southern Africa).

APPA believes that these partnership expand our perspectives and allows for broader collaboration and discussion.
