The UK's biggest and most comprehensive event for maintenance and asset management

Maintenance is no longer simply the art of keeping machines operational. In both private and public organisations, maintenance is now about optimising assets to meet corporate objectives and, increasingly, rigorous government and environmental requirements.

Manufacturing and process industries, utilities and transport organisations are running ever-leaner operations. And you - the maintenance & asset management professionals - face increasing pressure to find innovative technologies and solutions that not only reduce costs but drive greater value.

easyFairs MAINTEC is your opportunity meet leading suppliers and manufacturers of solutions that ensure process continuity and effectiveness, reliability and safety.

Show focus

While the main focus of easyFairs MAINTEC is condition monitoring, predictive and preventive maintenance technologies, the 2009 edition is set to feature a broader range of maintenance and operational solutions, introduce hard facilities maintenance and management services and address environmental issues specific to maintenance professionals. Don't miss:

    * Energy Management
    * Building Services Management
    * Lubrication Technology
    * Mechanical Equipment

Keep abreast of technologies and trends in maintenance

Now more than ever, maintenance is an information-driven discipline, with the trend towards preventive and predictive maintenance and condition monitoring.

Maintenance professionals need to be skilled in a wide range of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic technologies. They need to be able to progam and maintain programmable logic controllers, and they need to be able to pull together information and document activities into computerised management systems.

Maintenance skills and know-how are in great demand - but with the speed of technological change, you must keep abreast of developments.

Consequently, maintenance professionals need a forum in which they can learn about the latest innovations, technologies and trends in their industries and in the maintenance discipline. For 20 years, that forum has been MAINTEC.

easyFairs MAINTEC is the United Kingdom's foremost marketplace and networking event for anyone who has a professional interest in maintenance.

In addition to the exhibition, easyFairs MAINTEC includes a full programme of learnShops - independent seminars and case studies featuring best practices and developments in industrial maintenance and asset management.

learnShopsTM

easyFairs MAINTEC includes a full three-day programme of high quality but compact seminars. The focus in the 30+ presentations is on practical, actionable knowledge sharing.

Please note that the programme is subject to change.
