What is the Machines conference?

Reliability • Longevity • Sustainability

The 22nd Machines Conference is back, showcasing a lineup of international and national speakers.

The Machines2024 conference (part of Australian Energy Week 2024) focuses on reliability, longevity and sustainability for energy asset engineering. It’s a unique opportunity for attendees to enhance their knowledge, network with peers, and equip themselves with the latest tools and techniques for managing electrical and rotating machinery.

“Excellent event, learned heaps, enjoyed myself and want to come back next year.” (past attendee)

With a wealth of valuable information and a supportive community of peers, you will leave this conference with a greater understanding of electrical engineering to improve the reliability, maintenance and monitoring of assets.
