From October 26th till 28th 2021, Asset Performance 4.0 features a hybrid conference and exhibition, with a mix of virtual presentations online and live presentations in Antwerp, Belgium. For this occasion, we are looking for speakers willing to share their insights on digital transformation in operations, maintenance and asset management in order to achieve higher equipment reliability and cost performance in asset intensive industries.

Due to the uncertain times following corona, we chose a hybrid format. You can either present live in Antwerp, Belgium, or you can host your presentation online.

Speakers wanted
We are looking for speakers who want to showcase their innovations and expertise in the field of asset performance during a 40 minute presentation.

We are also looking for managers and engineers working in asset intensive organisations in all types of industries (Oil&Gas, Chemical industry, Manufacturing, Food & Pharma, Infrastructure, …) willing to talk on how they handle the challenges in maintaining and managing their assets. We are looking forward to hear about experiences with 4.0-solutions currently being implemented in (pilot) sites.

Workshops wanted
Workshops have a duration of 1,5 hours, half a day (3 hours) or a full day (6 hours). The aim of a workshop is to give participants a first experience with a certain methodology or solution in the field of maintenance and operations.

So we are looking for workshop animators willing to teach participants how to use disruptive technologies or solutions and to get them acquainted with how new solutions can help them increase asset performance. Participants bring their own device, and of course you can also bring your own demo material.

Hackathon challenges wanted
In a hackathon, an asset owner defines a challenge in operations or maintenance. Interested individuals or solution providers try to formulate a solution using digital tools, such as predictive analytics, AI, IoT, …

We’re currently looking for asset owners who can present a relevant challenge. As a challenge owner, you are expected to explain your challenge during the kick-off webinar and to make available a historic data set relative to the challenge. After the kick-off, the interested experts start working out a solution, which they submit on our hackathon platform. The challenge owner then selects the 3 best solutions, which are presented during the Asset Performance 4.0 Conference, after which the winner is determined.
