The IAM North American Conference 2025 will take place in Montreal, Canada, from 16-18 September 2025, bringing together professionals from across industries and sectors to explore the evolving landscape of asset management. 

This year’s theme is: Advancing Asset Management: A Journey, not a Destination 

Asset management is a journey, not a destination. Organizations are at different stages of maturity—some just beginning to implement structured asset management practices, while others are leveraging cutting-edge technologies and strategies to drive excellence. Our 2025 North America Conference will bring together professionals at every stage of the journey, offering insights, real-world case studies, and opportunities to engage with subject matter experts. Whether you're laying the foundation, striving for continuous improvement, or leading transformation, our conference sessions will provide invaluable knowledge, practical strategies, and inspiration to help you progress on your asset management journey. 

To support our speakers, sponsors, and conference delegates, we are organizing the sessions into three parallel tracks. Each track will provide valuable insights for both organizations and individuals, no matter where they are on their asset management maturity journey: 

Track 1: Learning From Each Other 

For those new to asset management, this track explores the first steps in adopting structured practices, securing leadership buy-in, and overcoming early challenges. Case studies will highlight organizations evolving from early adoption to competence. The NxtGen poster sessions will showcase emerging talent, sharing their learning journeys and how they are building their knowledge and competence. Additionally, we will hear how organizations can develop asset management capabilities within teams and across the organization. 

Track 2: Driving Continuous Improvement 

For organizations that have reached competent levels of asset management maturity, this track will focus on optimizing and embedding asset management into an organization's culture. Speakers will share insights on overcoming common roadblocks and sustaining long-term value. For individuals, sessions will cover professional development resources and practical steps to advance their asset management capabilities and have them recognized. 

Track 3: Asset Management Excellence 

This track is for those leading transformation initiatives beyond ISO 55001 compliance, focusing on delivering outcomes and unlocking value for organizations and stakeholders. Sessions will explore advancements in asset management thinking, the impact of disruptive technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence), and turning challenges (e.g., climate change, infrastructure inclusivity) into opportunities. Discussions will also cover achieving the highest level of professional recognition and shaping the future of the asset management discipline.
