Join us at the Practical Maintenance Forum 2026

The world around us is changing at a dizzying pace, and so are the demands placed on our departments. That is why we have chosen a motto for this year that precisely reflects the current situation in our plants:

Motto 2026:  "Maintenance Challenges in a Changing World of Requirements: Practical Solutions and Know-how for Efficient, Modern Maintenance".

What Makes This Conference Exceptional?

Practical Maintenance Forum is not just another technical conference. It is a genuine gathering of us maintenance professionals and technicians. It is a place where maintenance managers, technical managers, specialists and planners meet to share what is most valuable – experience. What sets us apart is presentations in which speakers go “under the bonnet” of processes. We will not talk only about successes. We will openly discuss:

• What we have achieved in developing maintenance systems, but also what we have struggled with and how we handled critical situations
• What the modern trends in diagnostics are, and where, in our conditions, artificial intelligence (AI) really helps and where it is still only a technological promise

Who Will Be Giving Presentations?

• modern diagnostic tools,
• software solutions for maintenance planning,
• automation, sensors and AI applications,
• new approaches to equipment reliability management.

What Will You Take Home?

Attending the forum brings more than just new notes in your notebook:

• Proven know-how – specific solutions that can be put into practice immediately.
• Inspiration – insight into how other industries solve problems.
• Contacts – a network of experts you can turn to.
• An overview of trends – which technologies deliver real economic benefits and which are still only a vision.

There will also be visits to manufacturing companies and an experiential workshop, which is both a new addition and a surprise.

I believe that openly sharing experience is the fastest route to efficiency. Come and share your views and find fresh inspiration for your everyday work.

We look forward to meeting you in person on 24.-25.03.2026 in Trnava!

Your team and the moderators of the Practical Maintenance Forum conference.
