The annual conference is set for October 1-2 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The deadline to register for the tenth offering of HECO, Inc.’s Reliability, Process, & Maintenance (RPM) Symposium is Sunday, Sept. 15. After that date, the cost to register for the Oct. 1-2 conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan, will be $150 per attendee.

The two-day event focuses on reliability in industrial processes and will be held at The Radisson Plaza Hotel, 100 W. Michigan Ave., Kalamazoo, Michigan, 49007.

The conference-style event features industry leaders speaking on topics related to maintenance best practices, electric motor driven powertrains, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Solutions, and methods to increase reliability in industrial facilities. HECO and partnering exhibitors will present educational breakout sessions designed to provide new techniques and processes for improvement. The sessions are designed for maintenance technicians and professionals within the Midwest, East Coast, and Southern regions of the United States.

“Year 10 of our RPM Symposium includes a great line-up of speakers, exhibitors, and all-around experts in the field of industrial processes, profitability, and reliability,” said HECO President Justin Hatfield. “We invite anyone interested in learning how to better understand their systems and looking for a way to achieve higher profits and uptime to join us for the conference.”

Attendees can look forward to a keynote presentation by Thomas Wilk, Editor-in-chief of Plant Services. His presentation entitled “10 Years After: A Snapshot of How Reliability and Maintenance Have Changed Over Time” will highlight technologies that have changed asset management the most as well as the best maintenance practices that guide their application.

Frequently presenting at leading maintenance and reliability events, Wilk joined Plant Services in 2014 and guides its focus on smart solutions for reliable operations. Before that role, he served as Lead Technical Writer and IMC Manager for Panduit.

The schedule also offers a variety of breakout sessions, vendor exhibitions to explore, on-site HECO tours, meals, and opportunities for networking.

The 2024 RPM Symposium is open to anyone interested in learning more about maximizing the reliability of rotating equipment. As a thought leader in the industry, HECO’s goal is to share influential solutions and maintenance best practices for small and large businesses.

The 2023 event in Lexington, Kentucky, welcomed more than 300 attendees from 126 companies and featured 38 educational presentations and tours.
