ICOMS Asset Management Conference Adelaide 2010
Monday 21st to Thursday 24th June 2010
University of Adelaide, South Australia
What is the ICOMS Asset Management Conference?
The ICOMS Asset Management Conference is the Asset Management Council’s premier meeting place for asset management and maintenance professionals. Each year, speakers and delegates from across Australia and around the world come together to learn and exchange the latest technical knowledge, and to meet and network with other like-minded individuals.
Beginning in 1994 with its main focus on maintenance, the Conference now encompasses all aspects of engineering asset management, such as asset management principles, processes, configuration management, continuous improvement, demand management, integrated support, operations and maintenance and systems engineering. Also covered in the Conference are technical and managerial aspects of asset management.
This year, the ICOMS Asset Management Conference offers a variety of new ways for delegates to be involved. In addition to attending plenary keynote, full paper and short paper presentations, delegates will be able to participate in interactive panel discussions, case study round table workshops and the Asset Management Council technical group open forums. Lengthy breaks between sessions and various evening functions will provide vital opportunities for delegates to network with keynotes, speakers and other attendees.
We welcome and invite all members and supporters of the asset management profession, be they end-users, academics, consultants or providers of asset management services to participate in our 2010 ICOMS Asset Management Conference.
Who should come to the ICOMS Asset Management Conference?
Anyone who is interested in maximizing equipment reliability, increasing plant performance or enhancing company profitability through better or smarter asset management should attend the ICOMS Asset Management Conference.
Presenting at the ICOMS Asset Management Conference
There are two ways to present at the ICOMS Asset Management Conference.
Authors can submit full papers (as traditionally seen at the ICOMS Asset Management Conference) that are peer-reviewed prior to the conference and subsequently published in formal proceedings.
Alternatively, authors can submit short papers, which are checked by the Conference Technical Team to ensure that the proposed material is fresh, challenging, sound and relevant. Short papers will not be peer-reviewed or included in the official conference proceedings.
Both full and short papers must be presented by one of their authors during the conference. Please note that the call for papers is now closed for ICOMS Asset Management Conference 2010.
Industry suppliers are able to advertise their products and services by hosting a booth at the accompanying MAINTEX Trade Exhibition.
A note from the Technical Chair

Consider becoming one of our discerning speakers. Join us as a delegate and member of the Asset Management Community. Because it is your knowledge, your experience, your insight and your willingness to participate that will make the ICOMS Asset Management Conference 2010 a time to remember.
I look forward to seeing you in Adelaide.

Penny Burns Dr Penny Burns is Editor of “Strategic Asset Management” for managers of public sector infrastructure assets. For the last quarter of a century Penny’s life has revolved around asset management. Not the technical, engineering variety, but the strategic decision making end of town where decisions on assets are taken, not to make the assets better, but to make the business better. In this role she has spent several years as advisor to a Minister of Construction, Resources and Energy, advised numerous State Audit Commissions of Inquiry, researched and wrote 8 Parliamentary reports on asset renewal, established an asset management institute in Kuala Lumpur, and been on the advisory panels for numerous associations and courses in asset management. She has consulted and advised at all levels of government as well as for the private sector, both here and overseas. Looking back, she notes that policies that have worked well in some areas did not work at all in others, that asset management has developed differently in industry and in the public sector, and that different disciplines have progressed at different rates in their overall understanding. To make sense of all of this, Penny is currently working on a “History of Asset Management” covering developments over the last 30 years.

Conference Objective Despite the current economic climate Australia has a number of asset replacement challenges as aged assets approach retirement, and demand for services is sustained or in some cases increases. This combined with the financial constraints being experienced provides us all with challenges about how we can sustain our businesses, and our assets, to continue to achieve the required delivery of services. The assets which enable our businesses to deliver the required services have long lifecycles, longer than the economic boom/bust cycle, longer than the tenure on a CEO or Board member, and certainly longer than a political term.
