I got a WEALTH OF INFORMATION from sessions and workshops, and the INTERACTION with PROFESSIONALS helped me SOLVE SOME ISSUES at my facility.

Kenny Myers, ISP Chemicals

This is a CAN’T-MISS EVENT for me. I took what I learned back to the plant and PUT IT TO USE IMMEDIATELY.

Hack Hensley, Mitsubishi Polyester Film

Excellent conference! We’ll REDUCE OPERATING EXPENSES by at least $35,000 annually. The BENEFITS DEFINITELY OUTWEIGH THE COST of attending.

Jim Schneider, East Texas Salt Water Disposal Co.

Another great job. I plan on attending future Noria conferences because of the amount of information provided. Thank you.

Scott Holland, Graniterock

As it was my first time attending, I was very pleased with the overall exhibition/conference. I gained some good information from the case histories offered, and will be purchasing and using some products I saw at the exhibition.

Curtis Benjamin, Georgia Power - Plant Scherer

The workshops were very informative and I will be able to put the information to good use.

Lee Durrant, Arch Western Bituminous Group

The level of professionalism and enthusiasm for new ideas is infectious and we always look forward to the next meeting.

Chuck Mitchell, ISOPUR

An extremely valuable conference. If you’re looking to get the most bang for the buck, this is the one event of the year I would recommend to anyone involved in reliability.

Doug McBride

I thought the entire conference was top notch. I left with a lot of new ideas, and a different outlook on maintenance. We are in the process of changing to a predictive maintenance operation, and now I have a better idea of how I am going to implement the change.
Thanks for a wonderful experience!!!
