Facility management is evolving faster than ever. Between rising expectations for employee wellness, the push for flexible work environments, and the need for sustainable solutions, facility managers are at the center of workplace transformation. That’s why IFMA’s World Workplace 2025, happening September 17–19 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, is the must-attend event of the year—and why visiting Soft dB at Booth #718 should be at the top of your list.

A Gathering Place for Facility Leaders

World Workplace is more than just a conference. It’s the world’s largest facility management event, bringing together professionals from across industries to explore new ideas, technologies, and strategies for making workplaces perform at their best. With keynote sessions, hands-on learning, and an expo floor full of innovative solutions, this is where tomorrow’s facility challenges get solved.

And this year, Minneapolis sets the stage. Known for its thriving business community, rich cultural scene, and easy-to-navigate downtown, the city offers the perfect backdrop for networking and discovery. Just steps away from the convention center, you’ll find great dining, entertainment, and green spaces—making it as enjoyable as it is productive.

Why Stop by Booth #718?

At Soft dB, we know one thing: noise is the invisible threat to workplace performance. Facility managers everywhere face the same challenges—open offices where conversations carry too far, meeting rooms that lack privacy, and employee complaints about distractions. Left unchecked, these issues can cost companies in lost focus, reduced productivity, and employee dissatisfaction.

That’s where sound masking comes in. At our booth, you’ll be able to:

  • Meet the experts behind the most advanced sound masking technology on the market
  • Explore proven strategies to solve acoustical challenges and create productive, comfortable spaces
  • Experience a live demo of sound masking technology and hear the difference it can make in real time
  • Connect with our local partners, Building Systems Solutions, Inc. (BSS), who know the unique needs of Minnesota facilities and bring decades of on-the-ground expertise

What You’ll Walk Away With

By visiting us, you won’t just see technology—you’ll get practical insights you can apply right away in your buildings. You’ll discover how to:

  • Improve speech privacy in meeting rooms and offices
  • Enhance employee focus in open areas
  • Support wellness initiatives by creating a calmer work environment
  • Optimize spaces without compromising architectural design

Why This Matters

In today’s competitive talent market, a workplace isn’t just a place to work—it’s part of the employee experience. Facility managers have the power to influence that experience through design, technology, and strategy. Addressing acoustics is often overlooked, but it can be the missing piece in achieving a productive, healthy, and modern workplace.
