Registration is now open for the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals’ (SMRP) 28th Annual Conference, which will take place virtually from October 19-21. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in over 30 sessions and workshops covering current issues within the maintenance and reliability profession, including a closing panel led by M&R thought leaders and an OSHA representative about planning for the future and innovations within the context of COVID-19.
“While the SMRP Annual Conference will look different this year, the benefits remain the same, if not better,” said Erin Erickson, SMRP executive director. “We’re offering more than 20 hours of education at less than half the price of our traditional in-person event. With no travel or hotel costs to factor in, we’re anticipating a more diverse, international audience, which will bring about new perspectives for our engaging workshops and networking opportunities.”
The conference will kick off on Monday, October 19 with six workshops covering topics such as motion amplification, successfully implementing a CBM, and how-to justify reliability expenses. Tuesday, October 20 and Wednesday, October 21 will consist of educational sessions that fit into SMRP’s five Body of Knowledge pillars: business and management, manufacturing process reliability, equipment reliability, organization and leadership, and work management.
