The 29th National Congress of Maintenance and Asset Management, and XXIX Exhibition of Products, Services and Equipment Maintenance and Asset Management, was held in Santos, Brazil between September 29 and October 03 2014. The conference attracted over 400 delegates, speakers and exhibitors. The Asset Management Council was represented at this event by Board Member, Deryk Anderson. The attendance of the Asset Management Council at this ABRAMAN event continues the collaboration between the Australian and Brazilian Asset Management associations.

During the conference, the Asset Management Council’s Asset Management Fundamentals course was presented to approximately seventy participants. Sequential translation was used to conduct the one day session in both English and Portuguese.

A pilot of the Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) exam was also run with 26 people attending. This pilot raised the number of test candidates globally to around 50 and enabled the assessment of the impact of English as a second language on exam results.

Reflecting on the experience Deryk said: “There are many similarities between asset management professionals in Brazil and Australia. We are at similar stages in our development, and there is much we can learn from each other. I look forward to the continuing trend of collaboration between our organisations and the benefits that it brings.”
