About Maintenance in the BoardroomDuring ‘Maintenance in the Boardroom’ (Frequently English spoken), the central guest speaker, a CEO of a Belgian based company, shares his vision on the impact of maintenance in their company and explain the strategic considerations and choices made. This is a well attended event for CEOs, Plant Managers and Maintenance Managers at a management level. CEOs get acquainted with the vision of a successful fellow CEO and learn how to keep their Belgian production sites competitive. Maintenance Managers learn how to better understand the CEO’s way of thinking, and discover the long-term visions of the CEO and their implications on maintenance. This event truly joins the two worlds.
