The 1st European Congress on Asset Management

REGISTER HERE

About the congress

This event will offer a thorough examination of the latest asset management methods and techniques from some of Europe's most prominent organisations. Delegates will learn how to improve and implement successful asset management, allowing them to demonstrate an ability to manage business critical assets resulting in increased asset performance, lower costs and risks and interoperability. By learning from, engaging with and considering case studies outside of just one specific industry sector and beyond the borders of your country of operation there is a real potential to forge new working relationships/ business opportunities and work towards a low cost, low risk, efficient common approach to asset management.

Who should attend

The congress will appeal to all those involved in the acquisition, operation and care of physical assets – especially those involved in international and multi-national organisations. From directors of planning and asset management to global operations managers, from strategy and investment managers to operations directors, this event is an excellent opportunity to further your knowledge of asset management practices outside of your country and your specific sector therefore improving your ability to effectively asset manage through a collaborative and common approach.
