AMCouncil is seeking expressions of interest from asset management professionals wanting to join a one week study tour to Canada in September 2023.
The tour will provide participants with the opportunity to explore the level of application of asset management at ski fields in British Columbia.
The tour will provide the participants with the opportunity to explore how owners and maintainers of public assets assure the management of assets and delivery of outcomes. The tour is intended to focus on public transport and transport infrastructure.
Participants can explore and understand different perspectives to managing commercial and public assets, providing ideas, experiences and learnings that can be applied in their own professional lives and employment. You will travel with the Asset Management Council’s National Chair and like-minded asset management professionals and share observations and opportunities. Travel on to the PEMAC Maintrain conference; “Canada’s largest annual maintenance and physical asset management conference exhibition and networking event”.
