Keynote presentations from technology, industry and regulatory experts will include:
- Eddie Amos, Vice President, Software Systems Division Strategy at Juniper Networks, will present "The Big Data Explosion," discussing the torrent of collected data that will increase exponentially as more and more wireless sensors and control devices are deployed.

- Rhys Davies, Chairman ISO/PC251, will present "Developing International Standards in Asset Management," highlighting the progress made in developing a series of International Standards in Asset Management. The presentation will consider the background to standards like BSi PAS 55 and how they have influenced the development and implementation of Asset Management good practice in a variety of sectors around the world including in North America.
- John Aller of TWI and internationally recognized mechanical integrity expert, will present "Real Time Risk Based Inspection with Living Strategies," outlining how the true value of RBI is realized when innovative companies integrate and evergreen compliance, technology, and best practices to understand in real time where the risks are, what we must do to reduce them and what the benefits will be.
