The Asset Management Conference

About this conference

The IET/ IAM Asset Management conference is the must attend event for asset management professionals. Delegates come together to learn and exchange the latest technical knowledge, and to meet and network with other like-minded individuals.

The conference covers all aspects of asset management including both principles and processes, technical and managerial aspects focusing on tools, standards and data and the application of business processes.

“...The success of the conference was illustrated firstly by the professional organisation and very high quality presentations delivered throughout the day. Furthermore, it was a sell-out event with academics and practitioners from all corners of the world in attendance. This provided an unprecedented networking opportunity with such a global perspective having never been experienced previously. This has undoubtedly become ‘The Asset Management Conference’ with mandatory attendance for any organisation that wants to be up-to-date in this area...”

2011 Conference Organising Committee Chairman, Dr Phillip Woodall, Cambridge University, UK

The conference is run in conjunction with the IAM annual lecture and dinner on the evening of conference as part of our continued joint community offering.
