Two regional events are set to take place in November and December 2025, providing platforms for professionals to enhance their skills, share knowledge, and address current challenges in the fields of maintenance, reliability, shutdowns, and turnarounds.

The 6th Reliability & Maintainability Conference and Exhibition will be held from November 24 to 26, 2025, at the Sofitel Al Khobar the Corniche in Saudi Arabia.

This conference aims to gather a diverse group of professionals, including executive management, maintenance and reliability managers, technical heads, and policymakers.

It is expected to attract over 250 attendees, 35 speakers, 50 companies, 20 countries, and 20 exhibitors.

The event is particularly timely, considering the pressing need for effective practices in the face of challenges such as low oil prices.

Recognising that maintenance and reliability are critical components of industrial success, the conference will promote knowledge sharing and best practices through mutual learning.

Sessions will feature industry leaders and decision-makers who will share their insights and experiences.

One of the key features of this conference is its emphasis on practical, hands-on learning over theoretical concepts.

This approach makes it a prime opportunity for networking and professional development. Topics covered will include best practices in maintenance, reliability-centred maintenance, root cause analysis, and cost-effective inspection strategies.

Following closely on the heels of this event is the 9th Shutdowns, Turnarounds, and Outages Technical Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for December 9 to 11, 2025, at the Mövenpick Jumeirah Beach in Dubai, UAE.

This conference is specifically designed for shutdown and turnaround managers, as well as maintenance, reliability, and operations professionals who are actively engaged in managing challenges within petrochemical plants and refineries.

The aim of this conference is to facilitate discussions on the implementation of new technologies and innovative ideas while benchmarking best practices in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

The programme will cover essential tools, strategies, and technologies designed to enhance organisational success and ensure plant sustainability from the conceptual phase through to operational efficacy.

With over 400 attendees expected, this event will feature more than 45 expert speakers representing over 80 companies from 20 countries.

Additionally, there will be 35 exhibitors showcasing the latest advancements in the field.
