With so many tools and techniques out there, how do you best execute Reliability and Maintainability at your facility? What works and what matters? MARCON 2012, now in it's 16th year, will help you answer these questions and focus in on what strategies are best for your organization.


MARCON is a forum for all -- practioners, specialists, educators, students, and even the new and uninitiated -- to learn and exchange information on new and emerging technologies as well as on tried and proven methods and techniques in the area of Reliability and Maintenance Engineering and Management. This conference will allow attendees to immerse themselves in ideas—some new, some reinforcing already known truths—to help them better prepare for meeting and beating the competition.


MARCON 2012 will be held in Knoxville, Tennessee at the Knoxville Marriott. We invite you to bring your family and friends and arrive early, stay late, or both, to really enjoy the warmth and hospitality of this beautiful area. Knoxville has much to offer visitors, both in town and in the nearby vicinity. From the Old City area to the new Riverfront area to the University of Tennessee campus, conference attendees and family members will find a myriad of shops, restaurants, parks, and other points of interest. In addition, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Oak Ridge, and many other attractions are all only a short drive away. We hope you will join us for MARCON 2012.
