MARTS seeks qualified industry practitioners and consultants to present during the Conference program. Conference presentations are scheduled to fill 30, 60-minute periods over two days (Tuesday and Wednesday, March 13 and 14, 2012). Presentations should be approximately 45 minutes long, with 15 minutes for Q&A, and should be accompanied by a PowerPoint program.

MARTS Conference presentations cannot be promotional. They must address the needs of the MARTS audience and answer questions plant professionals might have, such as those relating to maintenance, reliability, repairability, sustainability, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance and others. Presentations deemed too commercial will not be accepted. MARTS Conference presentations should fit into one of the categories listed below, though others will be considered.
