Collaborate 2015

4/3/2015 - 5/3/2015, Leeds, UK

“Collaborate 2015 will bring together EEMUA members and speakers from across industries, with the widest knowledge and personal experiences of the engineering issues of owning and managing process plant.”

Collaborate 2015 – EEMUA’s flagship two-yearly-event - presents a wonderful opportunity to benefit from, or learn more about, association membership. You will be able to:

• Listen and learn from our keynote speakers’ presentations on current and critical engineering issues.

• Participate in an EEMUA workshop or seminar;  there are a whole range to choose from over both days, all organised and run by members. The event programme has for more details.

• Hear the views of industry wide cross-sector peers, improving and broadening your self-help network.

• Meet EEMUA’s directors and members of its governing council, as well as other leading experts who are active in the association.

Industrial Assets: Safer and Longer Operations is the central theme for Collaborate 2015, in recognition of the fact that many industrial assets around the world are reaching or exceeding their original design life. There is continual demand to extend the operational life of these plants but only if it remains safe and economically viable to do so. Collaborate 2015 will examine various aspects of plant ageing and demonstrate the how operators can continue to run process plant without compromising safety and integrity.

EEMUA, the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association is a successful international non-profit membership organisation.

EEMUA member companies own or operate industrial facilities – invariably safety-critical and/or supply-critical facilities – in the chemical process, energy, utilities, distribution and related sectors.

EEMUA participants are the professional engineers and managers who specify, procure and use engineering equipment and materials. Member companies rely on us, as professional engineers and managers, to solve problems and do what’s required to get their industrial assets operational and keep them operating safety and cost-effectively.

EEMUA provides both a self-help network for participants, and a shared independent platform that enables member companies to address relevant issues of the day. We are active in many areas: from influencing legislation to maintaining regulatory relations, the development of engineering standards and guidelines, issues of workforce competency, equipment/material quality concerns, and many more.

EEMUA has a significant heritage, with an enviable reputation in the international engineering community that stretches back more than 60 years. 

By participating in EEMUA, and especially by participating in Collaborate 2015, you can help identify the issues and potential solutions; and help set the agenda to ensure safe and more effective industrial asset management and asset integrity in 2015, and into the future.

We hope that all our EEMUA member company participants will join in the Collaborate 2015 event. I look forward to seeing you there.

Chief Executive
