Join us on 14 and 15 November 2023 for this year's IAM UK Chapter Conference, held in Manchester at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate hotel. 

Our theme this year is “Addressing the Practicalities of Implementing and Embedding Asset Management”  

So many organizations are ‘on the journey’ to great asset management, though not all find that journey easy!  Enhancing the way an organization works, changing the roles and behaviors of people within them, and implementing a demonstrable management system to achieve recognition of both is never easy.  

That said, there are good examples of organizations that have already successfully made that journey, some who have learned the hard way but got there in the end, and others who are looking for guidance on the route their journey will follow. 

Are you on such a journey, or have you completed one? 

The 2023 UK Chapter Conference will explore the practicalities of that journey, share learning from those who have achieved it and those on the journey, and answer the questions of those finding it a struggle or just about to start. 

We’re looking for submissions of papers, case studies, or workshop proposals on the following topics for inclusion in our conference program:   

• How do you keep asset management fresh? 
• What culture do you need to make asset management successful? 

• How do you address people and resource constraints? 
• How to get top management support   
• What skills do your people need and strategies to achieve this   
• How do you meet the needs of your asset management system? e.g. SAMP, policy, strategies   
• How do you achieve and maintain your line of sight? 

• How do you identify and build the right capability in your people 
• How do you create an appetite for and fund learning? 

Speakers and workshop facilitators will be selected from the submissions. Our selection panel will ensure we present a diverse range of views, thought leadership, and best practice creating a unique learning and sharing experience for delegates.   
  
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 5 May 2023.  Make your submission today!
