July 31 - August 2, 2012, New Orleans, LA

This conference will focus on staying within budget through effective planning and strategic scope processes, the integration of capital projects, and contractor payment and engagement strategies, contractor safety during the shutdown/turnaround, and complying with new safety regulations.

Delegates will also attend to benchmark strategies on how to solve the talent recruitment dilemma as qualified maintenance professionals leave for projects in Canada and the upstream oil and gas market. It is clear that the budgetary and operational challenges are far from being solved, leaving room for a plethora of interested delegates from both the end user and solution provider populations.
