Engineers, Maintenance Managers, Suppliers and Line Managers eagerly anticipating the 2009 return of the National Maintenance Engineering Conference will not be disappointed. While the tightening economy and constrained budgets has seen the demise of several high flying industry conferences, the Maintenance Engineering Society continues to back its hugely popular but cost effective event and exhibitors and attendees are already queuing to register. The return of event sponsor Hydac ensures the society can again host the best bang for your buck event for engineers.
The National conference, easily the cheapest 2 day event in industry will be held at the Bayview Wairakei (Taupo) on November 11/12 2009. The two day conference based around the theme of “Re-Engineering Your Maintenance To Survive The Global Recession” features a well proven measure of holistic maintenance management papers presented by experts, industry providers and peers. Last years event featured international speaker Dr Bob Platfoot, EMA’s Paul Jarvie and kiwi legend Graham Lowe in a forum that provided ample opportunities to mix, listen and learn. The 2009 event will continue this well proven and popular format with thought provoking papers on preventative maintenance, health and safety, human resources, energy efficiency, engineering and employment law.
The $680 +GST pp attendance fee strikes a nerve with engineers, normally prevented from attending comparable 2 day events by costs far in excess of this amount. Exhibitors too, will be pleased with the opportunity to get in touch with engineers over the 2 day event and the pre-conference Trade Expo.
