Formation of a formal alliance of facilities management-related associations.
Leadership will be the theme of next year's conference, which will build on the success of this year's gathering.
New features, such as the popular Fringe sessions and visits to interesting local facilities, will be retained and enhanced.
A strong programme along with the BIFM's noted entertainment, hospitality and networking opportunities is expected to attract delegates from across the profession.
Explaining the decision to move to Oxford, BIFM chief executive Ian Fielder said: "Cambridge has worked well for us but it was time for a change".
"Keble offers superb facilities in a compact layout which retains the collegiate atmosphere that delegates like but offers more flexibility for programming".
"Keble's Dining Hall is magnificent and the accommodation is excellent".
Founded in 1870, Keble is one of the largest Oxford colleges.
The original polychrome buildings are complemented by award-winning modern developments including the Sloane Robinson and Arco buildings by architect Rick Mather.
