The remarkable success of OMAINTEC previous thirteen convened editions (from 2002 to 2015), gave the organizers, associates and stakeholders the keenness in providing the consistent platform for international field-experts and organizations to share and exchange their knowledge with the regional policy and decision makers.

As OMAINTEC is considered the only regional event tackling this vital subject, it opens the doors to key O&M operators and managers to exchange their expertise and enrich their knowledge about the new applied techniques to improve the effectiveness of their maintenance & operation’s management strategies and work plans.
