Digital tools and AI are reshaping how asset-intensive industries approach reliability and maintenance. In mid-November Antwerp hosts two days focused on practical deployments that show where data and generative AI deliver measurable results.
Dates and venue in Antwerp
Asset Performance 2026 runs on 18 and 19 November at the Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp. The conference mixes practitioner-led sessions, sponsor demonstrations and a programme structured around tracks for maintenance, reliability and asset management.
Programme highlights and industrial cases
The published programme emphasizes real-world case studies rather than vendor pitches. Key topics include predictive maintenance, AI-driven data extraction, agentic AI and AI voice agents for frontline work execution. Presentations cover lessons learned in deploying analytics, early anomaly detection and lifecycle strategies for online sensors.
Several sessions report measurable uplifts in uptime and reliability through targeted AI interventions. The agenda provides both technical detail and concrete implementation points that attendees can assess against their own operations.
Attendee profile and how to prepare B2B outreach
The conference attracts maintenance engineers, reliability leaders and asset managers from across Europe. Practical steps to prepare your outreach include mapping sessions with comparable cases, documenting your current data flow and listing integration constraints for OT and IT systems.
Concrete pre-event tasks
- Select case studies aligned with your asset classes and mark speakers to approach.
- Prepare a one-page summary of your asset health metrics and main failure modes.
- Define success criteria for a pilot project, including data sources and KPIs.
On site, prioritize technical conversations about proof of concept scope and data readiness over broad commercial discussions.
Key figures
- A community of over 300 professionals.
- Representation from more than 20 countries.
These figures underline the conference reach and its practitioner-driven format.
