MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA – December 9-12

Last week, Pinnacle’s Vice President of Client Solutions, Nathanael Ince, and Principal of Asset Management Solutions, Sean Rosier, closed out 2019’s year of trade shows and events by exhibiting as a Silver Sponsor at the 34th Annual International Maintenance Conference (IMC 2019). The conference, which felt like a dream working “vacation” for the reliability fanatic, was located in beautiful Marco Island, Florida.

The International Maintenance Conference, hosted by Reliabilityweb.com, has been uniting reliability leaders, asset managers, condition monitoring specialists, and maintenance professionals for over 34 years. The conference is filled with learning sessions, professional networking events, a three-day exposition, and certificate workshops and presentations led by industry experts, all focused around the discovery of what it takes to create an effective high reliability culture. Popular presentations this year highlighted asset management, leadership for reliability, reliability engineering for maintenance, work execution management, and women in reliability and asset management.

Are your priorities in the right place? If so, how will these priorities pay off in the short and long term?

This helps unify business decision makers with the reliability and maintenance professionals that need help improving their program. Learn more here.

The process to improve the reliability and asset performance of facilities often involves initiatives, various projects, and technologies. This can cause management to be bogged down with implementing point solutions that may or may not address the facility-wide objectives to create step-changes in availability, cost optimization, safety, and/or compliance. Learn how to develop a successful roadmap that will allow you to improve the reliability and asset performance at your facility in our webinars. Learn more here.
